One of the few things I enjoy now!

Hope, not giving up chocolate. Ever. I've given up enough.

This is a bit off topic, but my doctor told me years ago that our skin can take longer to heal as we get older. I've seen this, literally. In 2019 I got a booster for measles, chicken pox, and mumps since back then there was all this talk of measles in particular. I broke out in a rash and a few blisters. One blister left a scar and 2 years later it's finally gone!

Also, I used to heal from insect bites in a week or so, including the discoloration. Now it can takes weeks or months! I don't mean it itches or hurts that long, I mean the discoloration doesn't fade like it used to. Takes forever. In August I got bitten by something that gave me not only red itchy welts, but blisters. I don't think it was a mosquito.

Anyway, the itching and pain went away after 2 weeks, but that dull purple, like a bruise, is still there. It's gotten smaller over the past few weeks, but it's still there.

Thing is, when I was younger, this didn't happen.
