Vacation and Infected Leg

I went home for 2 1/2 weeks. I lived with my mother and aunt. There were also five cats and two dogs. I brought over the two kittens I rescued a few months ago. They are doing good in their new home. Suzy already likes to sit on my mother and aunt. Jasmine is more shy though. Violet, my Siamese cat, likes to antagonise her because she is jealous that I left her for a year and brought home two kittens.
It was good to see everyone. I didn't think it was enough time to really see everyone I wanted to see, and do everything I wanted to do.
I left for Korea by first going to Hartford, Connecticut and then to Washington/Dulles airport. I then flew straight to Tokyo. The ride was 13 hours long and my leg was throbbing badly. I couldn't sleep at all because of the pain. I have had psoriasis for a few months now and it is still on my legs. One of the sores has become infected.
This morning I went to see the dermatologist again and he prescribed some antibiotics by mouth, but he also had me get an IV of antibiotics. I stayed there for an hour and had an IV dripping into my hand.
I do hope this infection clears up soon and I no longer have to get psoriasis treatment. I had never had it before last year.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
