the thing on my neck

Most people come back from spring break with weird tan lines.  I have something different to boast of.

please don't mock me for my shameful selfie skills

So, as you can see, I have two strange markings on my neck.  They showed up a week ago and I'm pretty sure it's an allergic reaction to my cat's flea medication.  That, or a very mild chemical burn (also potentially from said flea medication.  Don't judge me for cuddling my medicated cat).  Whatever it is, it's definitely not a tan (I didn't get one of those either.  AS IF YOU COULDN'T TELL).  It doesn't hurt or anything, its just this weird brownish/red mark on either side of my neck.  Sis got one like this last summer, and she said it took about 3 weeks to go away.  And hers was much smaller.  Great.

I'm not actually very self conscious about it, but it did occur to me today that I'm headed back to school in a few days with two very obvious marks on my neck that clearly were not there before I left for spring break.  Luckily I have devised a few convincing explanations as to how these marks got on my neck.

So yeah.  I might start wearing my hair down more for the next week or two because it honestly looks like some sort of Biblical disease, but I promise it's just some painless reaction of my stupidly sensitive skin.  And if you ask me how I got the weird bruise/rash/hickey on my neck, I can't promise that I actually won't give you one of the answers listed above.  I guess it's best just to laugh at it until it goes away.  Until then... I guess I'll just spend the next few weeks trying to telepathically will it off of my neck.  Goody.

P.s. In case you couldn't tell, I got bangs since the last time I posted.  So now perhaps I look slightly more like my poorly rendered cartoon counterpart.  

Ciao!
