PHOTOGRAPHIC PROGRESSION OF MY BADLY INFECTED TATTOO

 Day 0 - Just after getting it.
 Day 7 infected and bleeding.
Day 8 Obviously infected and bleeding. 
Day 9 most of the scab is off and it's oozing a lot less and not much bleeding. 
Day 14 some kind of thick clear crust on it. The tail split and broke my skin. 
Day 15 most of the whatever that was if off. You can see the loss of ink and damage to the skin by the infection. A short time after this the infection got worse again and I needed IV antibiotics to get rid of it. 
Day 23 Doctor thinks it's hanging on (infection) because of some redness around it still. I'm a bit sure I have a slight allergic reaction to the white ink that was used in the grey part. Blood tests showed evidence that I had a very serious infection. Now I'm supposed to put this cream on it twice a day for 5 days. Not much left of poor Pusheen - the infection pushed a lot of the ink out. No way in hell I want it "fixed" as I don't want to risk a worse infection this time. There is obvious damage to some of the skin but it's not terrible other than by the one ear. So I will have to explain zombie kitty to people from now on.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
