I can have bears without yuletide

Because I still have no Christmas presents. *flail*

I'd planned on getting them Friday, even took the day off, but then I felt sort-of-bad and stayed in bed.

For Saturday I had invited my parents for Christmas market and a handball game - I had to put a hold on this because I woke up with a rash all over, worst on my thighs, where it actually swelled to a lump. So I trekked to the ER and found out that I'm allergic to the antibiotic I took two weeks ago - turns out the reaction only starts 10 days later.

So I re-invited the parents - it was only itching, after all - and we had a nice day. Except that in the evening at the game I started shaking. Didn't feel too bad, but still.

Sunday I felt awful, stayed in bed all day, and today I called in sick. Arrrgggghhhhh.

So that means I'll have to get presents tomorrow after work - somehow I have to get both into the city and to IKEA, all by train because I don't have snow tires. I'm exhausted just thinking about this.

on the bright side: Look at the awesome icon made by [personal profile] blnchflr! *g*

Oh no, that sounds absolutely awful. I hope you're feeling better tomorrow.

*hugs*

(I had a lesser extent of the same issues--sick all last week with a cold, then a big snowstorm Saturday--but not as bad as that, and things are more or less under control now.)
