It has been an interesting week.
There has been a cold, an allergic reaction, a day of sleep, a cancelled cookout, and a Bible Study.
I got up on Monday with a cold (sniffle sniffle), but just a slight one. I still went to work. On Monday night, as the cold threatened to get worse, I decided to take a cold remedy. The cough was trying to keep me up all night, and that wasn't a good thing. So, I took some pills my wife gave me for cough and congestion. In the night, I was not coughing but not sleeping right either. Tuesday, I get up and leave for work after taking one more pill. My hands are itching. My palms are itching. My lips are tingly.
I stop for gas a couple miles from work and see in the mirror that my lips are swollen slightly. I call work, get gas, and head home. On the way, Tammy calls. I tell her what is going on (sorta.) She tells me that she has benadryl in her purse. We meet in the middle and she gives them to me. By this time, my arms have started to splotch. I am breaking out in hives.
I get home, take the benadryl and sleep away the most of the day. By Wednesday I am good to go. I am still slightly itchy, but manageable.
Thursday, I go to a State Committee meeting. We are developing a Career Pathways document for HS Counselors.
Tuesday night, I did the Bible Study thing. It was OK. I was still nervous, but I think I handled it well.
We were to have a cookout on Friday for the Students. One of the other employees picked up the meat for which my club paid. He was supposed to bring it on Friday. I get there and he isn't there yet. He is supposed to be at work an hour before me. I call his house (40 miles away) and he is still in bed. He is sick. His wife will bring the meat, but cant leave home until she takes daughter to school. The meat will not get to our school until second period. So, I postponed the cookout till Monday.
That was the short version of my week. How was yours ?

Mine? HECTIC!
Talking phone calls, text messages, IM's back and forth between Hottie (who has been in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong) and realtors, mortgage people and me. The house is being sold (Finally!) I signed an offer...and they come to inspect the house this week. We're hoping to close 6/29 and move into another house that is more suited to us...as is the much quieter, cleaner neighborhood there....It will get wayyyy crazier before it gets calmer and better.....
Hope you are feeling much better!
What did you have the allergic reaction to? Did you figure it out?
Poor thing!!
