I should go to bed soon. I've been really tired all day and I haven't exactly been feeling well. I needed to sit down a couple times at the gym because I was dizzy and generally feeling gross. But... I do feel better after hitting the gym. We did the weights circuit, including my 90 stomach crunches, and then I spun for 20 minutes while Steven sauna'ed.

Fuck, I have hives again and my damn cortizone is in the car, which is off with Steven. Figures that the first time he's gone back to his parents' place in a week is the one time I needed something out of the car.

Score, found some. I also took some Benedryl, which I am hoping helps. This is the second time I've broken out in hives since Saturday. I wish I knew what was causing it.

Anyhow... We filled up the bed a little more today and it, so far, has made a ton of difference. We napped on it for a while today and I woke up without a backache! I guess we grusomely underfilled it when we moved it over the summer. It's actually calling to me, right now, but I'm too damn itchy.

If this keeps happening, I am not going to ever eat anything from Trader Joe's again. Regardless, no more smoked fish for me anytime soon.

We had salmon and green beans for dinner. We've started expanding a bit beyond red meat, including me cooking chicken (!) once and a while. It's been an interesting expansion. We finally had enough hot water to finish doing dishes tonight.

I think I'm going to go try and get some sleep, hives and all. After all, I want to get up at a reasonable time tomorrow so I can get a few job applications out there.
