The Tongue Yuck!

Well in the on going epic allergy story I am getting tested for peanuts.... that sounds weird doesn't it? Okay peanut allergy, but I have to wait 4 weeks till the steroid is out of my system. Coming off of that is a horrible feeling. Your hands and limbs cramp up like you have he bends and I shook like a crackhead and something like hot flashes. yuck! My throat still feels tight so they are sending me to an ears, nose and throat specialist and I went and saw my regular doctor and they put me on an anxiety med so I would hopefully worry a little less. Plus the steroid gave me thrush..... yeah, yuck so an antibiotic for that too. But it's a good excuse to sit at my desk and eat popsicles all day. I really and truly have no idea what did it so I'm very cautious about what I eat. I've lost 13 pounds so that's interesting. But I think it's just made me tired, I wish it was spring or summer already I want to go outside. It's a beautiful day out today. I wore flip flops and a skirt hee hee hee. wishful thinking I guess.

Let's talk about something more fun. Valentine's Day! I made Spaghetti and we watched The Klondike. He got me flowers in this really pretty hand painted wine bottle and a full year of Netflix!!!! I'm so excited. He knew I loved it and I missed watching it, but I've been watching my money. It was a very thoughtful gift. I didn't even think you could do that but BOOM an email from Netflix showed up in my mailbox with a note. I got him a print of The Dude that he wanted and had it matted and framed. It looks pretty awesome in his Dude room.

See ya later alligators!!

Ode To Sweatpants

Ode to Sweatpants

Oh my sweatpants how I love you,
You keep me warm, you hold me when I am blue,
You do not judge that extra scoop,
You sway with me when I play Wii hula hoop.
You make me feel better when my tummy's not right,
always comfortable, never tight.
Oh how lovely you are paired with a hoodie, for a Walmart Tuxedo,
where I can comfortably wander and buy things I don't need-o.
You make bad days better and cover my legs when hairy,
ekk! maybe that's too scary...

Sometimes I get a little allergic Baby

This past week has been a whopper.  I had an allergic reaction and had to go to the ER twice, no idea what it is other than something I ate. I have never been more aware of my tongue or throat in my life. My tongue swells up and looks like an octopus tentacle and gets 3 large white bumps down either side and my throat gets tight. :( My chest, back and arms get red and swell also, I think that may be a side affect of the steroid I am on now also. I get a little anxious when I am by myself I just have to tell myself to be calm, pray and I can breathe I am all right. In my head I keep calling myself silly willy. You can breathe silly willy, you are just fine, be calm and I am usually alright. I am going to be so happy when this is all over and either this feeling fades and life gets back to normal and we know what it is or I'm just more careful with what I eat or do. I've lost like 10 pounds in the last week due to lack of sleep and eating I think. I'm really trying to not get a cold or anything so that it will give my throat time to be fine. My family has been amazing taking me to the ER and meeting me there. Papa Monkey's grandpa took me on the snowiest day this year and I will be forever grateful to him. I love them so much and am thankful that they love me. My sweetie keeps me calm and my mind off of my tongue, this weekend we played video games and went shopping and I helped him rearrange his house. I thought several times that my tongue was swelling and we would stop and he would put his arm around me and say lets give it a minute if if gets worse I'll take you in and we would sit and watch TV and everything would be okay. I am very thankful for him, he himself is a very calm person and that is soothing.
