Cheery - here's hoping the 'bitey-booger' buzzes orf and the itching stops at the very least!  And that everything else 'settles down' and you can ease into the day.

Thinking of you hun, Greying X

Sorry about your work news, Cheery.  That sort of thing, when its such a shock, always really unsets the equilibrium and has a knock on effect on everything else.  Just be kind and gentle with yourself and let it bed in slowly.

Ahh Cheery sorry to hear you had shocking news to deal with - Elisheba puts it into lovely words above so I will simply say "I agree".

As for the bite - SO annoying getting bitten somewhere like that. I mean annoying being bitten anywhere, but some places are more annoying than others when they are itching aren't they! MrEH and I both swear by the little electronic zapper things for bites - no idea how a very small electric shock can stop an itch but they really do work. Possible not for between toes though as I can't even think how you would get the business end of the zapper in there, as small as it is!

Sadly going on further developments it looks like it may not be a bit after all but athlete's foot! Despite me not behaving in any way like an athlete of late 🙄😂 I don't think I've had it before, no idea how I got it this time - swimming, perhaps??

Cheery my dear - things that are pants happen in threes - you've had your three so the day can only get better from here! - Sending a virtual hug!

Thank you all.

Bit of a rotten, grumbling day today. Unrelated work gloominess in addition to the week's earlier events, plus gripey period pain, plus my foot, goodness me! I've never had athletes foot and always just thought of it as a bit of flakiness, but no! It is, of course, like thrush (but of the foot, not the fundament) so an incessant, un-itchable itch, plus it also feels like I have a very tight band tied around my toe, which is swollen and red and grim and very uncomfortable to walk on. Popped into the chemist on the way home so am better equipped, but the promise of 'instant relief" has not materialised 🙄

Hey ho. Mr Cheery drove me home and took me out for a pizza, which was a nice distraction. Tomorrow is another day, working at home, and I should really get on with some of the things that have been neglected this week. Then the dental hospital and dentures on Friday, deep joy 🙄😂

Hmm, I'm not sure that that is athletes foot that you have, or if it is it seems a lot more serious than I have ever had it. I've never had more than it being a bit sore and irritated. If there is no relief from the over the counter cream tomorrow I would consider making a doctors appointment, as you might need something more hard hitting.
