Sunshine in a bottle
I have had this hideous skin thing for the past month, where my limbs and some of my torso have been covered by hundreds of red splotches of all different sizes. It's a good thing it's winter because I've been able to cover them all up. The doctor said it's a variation of pityriasis, not contagious, and goes away on it's own after a few weeks or months. I wondered if there was a connection between lack of sunshine and the condition, so started taking a Vitamin D supplement. Sure enough, the blotches are slooooowly but surely fading. Maybe by the time spring rolls around I'll be able to wear skirts and t-shirts without feeling self conscious!

Speaking of spring, there are two daffodils flowering in the front garden. It's only February!! It's not been cold much at all so far this winter. I keep waiting for the weather to turn but it hasn't...yet!
