Diagnose me!

So I have this yucky sore on my hand. It started out as a small circle that felt a little sore. I thought maybe it was getting infected so I put some neosporin on it and a band-aid and called it good! Well, that just inflamed it and made it worse. So I decided maybe it was eczema because I get it on my ring fingers from my rings. Usually I can just take off my ring and my finger will dry out and it will get better. This patch just keeps spreading and is dry and itchy. It's not oozy at all so I'm pretty sure it's not impetigo. So is it eczema? If so can anyone give me any pointers on how to clear this one up? Thanks!!

made it home

Well we made it home to montana. Leroy and pugly have survived. We spent the night in Idaho falls and had a crummy pancake breakfast. We are glad we got to see everybody and eat all the food we ate. My pill is kicking in so I will shut down now and go to bed.

Congratulations Mare

Maralee has been granted administration priveliges on the skinnertopia blog. Her job is put up doo hickeys and other stuff to make the blog look great. This is much like a calling from a bishop. You must accept.

medical update

I am now reporting on my general medical condition. The pills(lorazopam) the doctor gave me are great. I only have to take one a day and it keeps me under control. Yesterday I tried to see what would happen if I didn't take it and about 10:00 I started sweating and shaking. It took about an hour for my pill to calm me down. In other news dad is going to the doctor today for his heart. He keeps skipping beats. Sometimes it makes him lightheaded. They did a test on him but he doesn't know the results. He will get them today. He said they may have to give him a pacemaker. His sister already has one. Marci and I are going to the Jazz game tonight along with Julie who has a special date. Aaron could not make it since he went to Nevada so Julie is making due with the next best thing. James will be her company for the night. It will give him practice with women. He can also fend off all the men who would otherwise make a pass at Julie.

Major accomplishment for Gatlin

Gatlin recieved his first fast offerings of his life yesterday while doing his duty as a deacon. He had been scheduled to pass the sacrament for the first time yesterday in church but the spirit of contention in his home made the family late for church. I am not sure what the conflict was but Aaron seemed to indicate he was to blame and it was implied that there was major involvement by Hurricane Katrina. This must have been a spectacle to behold. In the future Gatlin has much more responsibilities to perform since than your average Deacon because the ward has tons of old people and he will have to go to their houses to give them the sacrament. I hope he learns from this endeavor and magnifies his calling.
