Herpes Anyone?
Over the weekend, I noticed a little bump forming on my lip. Instead of rushing to the drugstore to grab some ointment, I thought 'oh it'll go away.'
Monday morning I wake up and I have a crusty red blob the size of Alaska spreading away from my lip. By noon, I've put on some abreva treatment cream, hoping it'll work. Later in the day, it's expanded even more to the size of the lower 48 states. Seriously folks, it looks like I've been sucking on Lindsey Lohan's hoo-hah.
I get these fever blisters from time to time, and there's no good way to disguise them.
This after I'm recovering from first degree burns after an extended visit in a tanning booth with new bulbs. Now my face is peeling, but the rest of me has a nice golden brown hue.
On another note, my boss approached me on Monday and we re-negotiated a new contract. I got a little raise (above the standard 2-3%), some more perks and options to leave after a certain period of time.
So it looks like my happy little ass won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
If anyone has any home remedies or OTC tips for cold sores...let me know!

Lucky for Lindsey! All of this just for your big trip? Wow. Good for you on the contract. That probably feels great......
Mmm, open lip wounds in Thailand.
Good luck with that.
Unfortuantely, I have no home remedies to offer you for the cold sore.
I do, however, have plenty of congratulations to extend to you on your successful renegotiation! :o)
I get those whenever I eat foods with too much acid or salt.
I use Abreva and I also take L-lysine (an over the counter vitamin/supplement). A friend told me about it and it seems to speed up the healing process.
Good luck with that.
To All: Funny how I post about herpes and you all come out of the comment closet. Hehe...thanks for the comments and congrats. It doesn't feel good...but it doesn't feel bad (the contract part). The cold sore hurts like hell.
