I was sitting and talking to the secretary of the Lutheran church in town today when my arm started itching.Â? I rolled up my sleeve and saw that it was all red and flushed.Â? The secretary was also looking at me with big eyes.Â? “I’m turning red, aren’t I?” I asked.Â? She nodded.Â? I explained that it was just a niacin reaction and would go away within an hour or so.

This is making me want to wait on taking it until AFTER my the funeral tomorrow and AFTER the LSAT on Monday as I’d prefer not to have a ton of people asking what’s wrong with me tomorrow and not to have to deal with the flushing while I’m trying to make logical deductions and read obscure passages.

In addition, the spot on my left arm where they have been drawing blood is now black and blue.Â? I don’t usually bruise that badly from bloodwork but I guess the vein has been pierced enough.Â? I’ve also got a lovely collection of needle trails in that spot.Â? If you didn’t know me well, I’m sure you’d think I was trainspotting.
