Re: Ugh. Don't want to work.
Quick cheap fixes-
Hot bath with whole carton of Epsom salt. Calamine lotion on the bites. Drink water with apple cider vinegar to "flush" your system & get some of the retained water out. Buy a green coverup stick to make-up over the bites. (PS A very light vinegar & water douche will cover the BV.)
Have a few cups of coffee before you go to work (temporary diuretic.) All of this will cost less than $10 to do & most items can be bought at The Dollar Store. Good luck and go make that money!

Re: Ugh. Don't want to work.
You know, I've made some of my best money looking like crap.
I used to get really bad acne outbreaks, and since I book my gigs weeks in advance, I wouldn't know if it was going to happen during a work week. Often, it did, and I'd always be blown away by how well I did! It's like I was more approachable or something- more 'real'.
Compensate by smiling lots- like, LOTS! I'll betcha you do better than usual.
Re: Ugh. Don't want to work.
I'm going to try. Right now with my allergies and bloat, I feel like shit. I can barely move. All I want to do is lie down. I have to have $1000 by Sunday though, so I really have no choice. I hope I can do it.
Re: Ugh. Don't want to work.
As difficult as it is, TRY to "dance like you don't need the money," since it seems like when you REALLY need it, the guys have this suck-ass radar or something and they sense your desperation then you make crap that night. If I wasn't feeling good physically, I'd make sure I'd do what I could to improve my mood. Talk to a funny friend, watch a funny movie, read something I wrote that I particularly liked (I know you are a writer, so that one might work for you too).
Good luck! ;)

How much water, and how much apple cider vinegar???
Re: Ugh. Don't want to work.
I did okay considering it was a shit night last night. I still feel bloated and fat, and now I have a rotting tooth and no one will fix it and it hurts. So I feel like the nasty fat girl with rotting teeth and BV. But I'm treating the BV with an antibiotic gel and maybe on Monday I can find a dentist to fix this tooth. I'm terrified I'm going to lose it and then have to go around with a big gaping hole in my mouth. <shudder>
I hate my fucking teeth. They always kick me when I'm down.
Re: Ugh. Don't want to work.
The apple cider vinegar & water mix- one teaspoon vinegar to 8-12 ounces water, depending on how much you can stand. It is pretty strong to take down.
My recommendation on the tooth is to find a private practice dentist who will take most of the fee up front & let you bill the rest. Fillings can run from $80-$200, but the dentist might sell the whole "root canal" rap, ($800-up.) Still, it's your teeth, very important. God only gives out 2 sets per lifetime.
