If it weren’t for this site, many things would be lost to our poor memories. Not posting very often has put me in a bit of a mental bind lately, so I’m jotting this down for Future Me.
- Our air conditioning conked out. It did last year, too, and the repair guy said it needed more freon, but it was on its last legs. Both legs broke this year and it died. We have been making do with two window units (thank goodness), and the new one is coming next week. Sooooo glad we are having a heat advisory over the weekend……..
2. I can’t remember if I wrote about my Horrible Rash last spring? It started with a puffy eye and some itchy, fluid-filled dots on my hands that SPREAD – neck, face, arm, torso…. it was awful. I went to the dermatologist and had them biopsied. All they could tell me was, “Well, it’s not from gluten.” They wound up giving me medicine that helps with leprosy.
This Monday, my eye puffed up. *GULP*
In some ways it has been better – the spots are not all over, mainly my face and back of neck, but the whole right side of my face puffed up and I had a hard time seeing out of my right eye on Wednesday. People at work have been asking a lot of questions – either to me or whispering behind my back to see if I was in a fight.
I went to the doctor on Wednesday and he didn’t know either. He prescribed antibiotics and an oral steroid and said to keep taking the antihistamine (which I am doubling up on). Lauren, you have a health document in Google docs if this should happen again.
Anyway, we are heading to a wedding today, and thankfully I just look like someone slapped me and it’s a little red, puffy and scaly. I’m going to blame Lloyd.
Have a good Saturday!
I think your face makes you look like an action hero from the movies. They always have some kind of redness on one eye. Now you just need to perfect round-house kicks, and you’ll be the full package!
