Last night was horrendous, I was so itchy I couldn't get to sleep at all, I was tossing and turning the whole night I finally fell asleep around 4:30am only to have to get up at a little over an hour later.

Then, today I awoke to an even more lovely swollen face. and the rash on my arms and legs had intensified.

I grabbed some coffee and bread for breakfast and began my solo power walk up the hill to the site to the tune of Passion Pit which improved my mood somewhat.

I tried to ignore the itchyness at the site because I really wanted to be there and do some work, but it was terrible, I kept having to take off my gloves and rub and scratch my arms and neck to avoid going insane. (and I was only there 2 hours)

Then my night in shining armor appeared in the form of Tony. He saw me frantically rubbing my scales and told me he'd be finished at the site soon and would take me down to get something for it.

We walked to his car and he drove to a slightly larger town than Vescovado to go to the pharmacy.

The car ride was quite nice, he is an excellent conversational companion and we chatted about university, Italy in general and the dig specifically.

At the pharmacy Tony pointed out the weird baby food they had there (prosciutto and horse flavoured!) he then poke to the pharmacist and gestured at me asking me what I thought was going on with my skin at appropriate moments.

I was handed some antihistamine and a cortisone cream and Tony didn't even let me pay for it which was very kind of him!

He dropped me back at the house and I took the antihistamine and a shower. I put on sunscreen this morning even though that may be what is causing the reaction because I figured hives are better than sunburnt hives! skin could start. so the shower was so my skin could start afresh.

Now I'm going to take a nap to make up for last night, then I'm going to go to the maggazino to avoid the sunlight while not having to feel useless. plus, the mag is AWESOME.

ps. I took a picture of my gross swollen red bumpy face, shoulders and chest but I haven't yet decided whether I wish to display my monstrous face on the internet for all to see. I'll probably be more inclined to do so once I no longer resemble Quasimodo.
