Ack! Awwww, Anika! How are you doing this morning?! I'm really concerned about you -- this sounds straight up awful! Anything physical going on do you think? Well, on the skin front anyway -- like allergic reaction? (I well know that it certainly doesn't take anything of that sort to feel that way -- just wanted to toss it out there in case it jogs your mind in some possibly useful way. It would be terrible timing on its part to happen with the other stuff though!)

(And so sorry to have disappeared last night -- went to brush my teeth and the computer shut down -- it's the old one and does that randomly. And to turn it back on, it just does it again, except right off the bat. Ugh! Cannot wait for that adapter of my "real" computer to arrive! Since it was almost 4:30 again, it seemed better to get to bed than to wage yet another fruitless battle with electronics.)
