Friday 4 May 2012: Oh, bother!!!

(or words to that effect)
This is the face of a girl who showed me three tiny spots on her leg yesterday and I thought nothing of it because she's a sensitive little mite and pimples-up over the slightest things.

This is the face of girl who has just had a week-long tummy bug and is very, very skinny still and deserves a long run of good health.

This is the face of a girl who has had 5 days back at school and has been getting her energy and appetite back.

This is the face of a girl who has come home from school tired and grumpy and hot-faced and complaining of aches and...
and...

and itchy spots...

This is the face of a girl whose school is currently having an outbreak of chickenpox.

This is the face of a girl who has spots on her neck that are heading headwards.

This is the face of the girl who cannot leave anything alone, who bites her nails, picks her scabs, is easily irritated and will pick and scratch herself to bits.

This is the face spot-free...

...for a few hours perhaps...

This is the face of the girl whose mother deactivated facebook for 2 whole days (what do you mean, you didn't notice?!), and managed to keep herself to herself and get 2 weeks' worth of stuying done in 3 days and managed to unplug herself from distractions to get some work done but now finds the NEED to share how blooming full of annoying little surprises life can be!!!

CHICKENPOX?!
NOW?!
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING?!?!?!?!
