What a rotten day.
I broke out in hives last night around 8PM. We were at Starbucks because the internet was slow and I discovered I was STILL slow. I finally bit the bullet, updated my Avira and took off the Avast and the McAfee and now it runs all nice again.
But while there, I broke out and it was an itchfest.
Either way, we get home and I took a late shower, hoping that would do the trick. I put on jammies and went to bed.
Woke up a little before 4 AM covered from armpit to thigh in hives. Breast, everything. I woke myself up clawing.
Lucky for me, my son was still up and he went to WM for cortizone. I changed jammies, smeared myself very liberally (the only time you’ll see me use THAT word towards myself) and tried sleep again.
Woke up this morning just as bad in different spots. I smeared again, went to sleep on the couch.
Woke up at 2 breaking out yet again. Said enough of this shit and headed to the Doc in the Box.
Who asked me a bunch of questions that I answered ‘no’ to (new clothes detergent? Food? etc… no no and no.)
She asked me to breathe deep while she listened. I hacked up a lung. Her response – that’s some nasty asthma. Your lungs are all upset. Do you have an inhaler?
She then gave me a painful steroid shot (still hurts) and dose of pepcid AC (which apparently helps this stuff) and sent me on my merry way for pregnazone and claritan.
She apparently forgot to tell me this stuff will make my blood sugar go up. Thanks you, my wonderful pharmacist who DID tell me.
Right now, I feel much better. More myself. While at Publix waiting, we found they’ve restocked (after a year) our favorite chili – Southwest White Bean Turkey Chili. Yes, we bought some!
Tonight, while getting over all of this, I whipped up a pot of Italian Wedding Soup (it’s okay, not great, won’t buy it again) and I’ve been looking at the new pictures of Richard. I’m VERY stoked about the new season of Berlin Station. I’m not so stoked about the subject matter. I’m really tired of politics and I’m tired of it invading a place the majority of us go to escape the real world.
But that’s a different rant for a different day and I’ll probably take that rant up somewhere different.
So RICHARD! Looking good, but you know it! Thank you for wearing those suit pants longer than it shows on the website. (It looks horrid that high. I don’t care if that’s the fashion, I don’t follow fashion. I would not let my son out the door wearing pants that high over the shoes!) Thank you for not cuffing the pants. (Another fashion thing I don’t care for) Can you PLEASE let your hair grow out just a LITTLE bit?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease??
School tomorrow. With kids. Starts with my problem children. Hopefully, they will be in a mood to be helpful and then we can sing.
Hopefully.

Oh, that sounds worrying! So, what is it and what is it caused by?
Best of luck for the school day!
We have no clue. We know what it wasn’t, so there is that, but other wise?
We treated the house for visiting critters (always get them after big storms and hurricanes) as well as other visiting critters (it’s easy for them to get in and out as we grill so much outside.) and we thought that maybe we came back too early for the chemicals to settle and maybe that did it. I would put down boric acid, but I’m afraid my kitties would play in it. On Friday night, I saw Widgette sneaking through the house with something GREEN in her mouth. When I stopped her, I saw it was a little lizard or gecko and he was still alive. I managed to get him away from her and let him out before she did any real damage, but…
So either way, no, we have no clue.
Right now, I have insomnia. It’s going on 3 Am and I’m no where near able to go to sleep. I’m trying to decide to boil some water for tea. I know I have Tension Tamer but I’m rather hoping for Calming Comfort. Either one normally knocks me out. I’m wondering if it’s the meds they gave me. I got them in the afternoon – around 5 PM. However, in the past when I’ve gotten a shot of Levequin, it hasn’t bothered me. (I had walking pneumonia for weeks and hadn’t slept more than 2 hours at a time. My doctor gave me that shot at 4 PM, told my mom where the nearest Subway sandwich shop was (I inhaled some serious food) and I was in bed and asleep by 5PM and slept until 8 AM the next morning – probably would have slept longer had mom not woke me up, pretending to be irked that apparently I got up in the middle of the night and ate an entire plate of fudge. I don’t remember that!)
I’ve drunk 2 bottles of water while writing this. Good sign that my blood sugar is UP!
I start my day with my little group of toughies. Last time, they helped me put stuff in my car and then were really good for me. We’ll see if that works again.
Hope your Monday goes well.
I do to. It NEEDS to. I was up until 4 AM and then overslept.
Yikes!
