How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days

1. Contract measles
2. Wait 10 days for the rash to appear
3. Watch as your husband evades you at all cost for fear that you might 'slime' or 'skin' on him.

My rash is getting much better. I was even able to put on clothes and go out shopping by myself for several hours (nevermind that the second I got home I had to rip off my clothes and itch myself for 20 minutes).

I've gotten to a whole new level of measle-dom. Luckily my measles are drying up, but so is the rest of my body - my skin feels like a ragging sunburn. The problem is it's peeling to the point that I'm afraid I might not have any skin left in the end. I don't need to tell you how uncomfortable it is, you know what it's like to have very dry skin ripped off your body constantly for a week.

Kyle jokes that I am developing a hard exoskeleton and one morning I will slither out of my old skin and turn into a beautiful butterfly. That's right, he thinks I'm half snake, half caterpillar.

Until that happens I will continue to sweep up after my skin 10 times a day.
