Feb. 15th, 2005 03:18 pmThe stupid cocoa butter lotion I got is making my skin insane. If I don't lotion, though, I get itchy as hell. It's totally a no win situation. I guess I should be glad that I bought a trial size of Bath & Body Works Cherry Blossom lotion last night. It's keeping me from going insane with itch.

My sheepies are spinning around in circles and until they fall down. Yay!

Nov. 29th, 2004 11:10 pmToday, I found out that, evidently, vaccines are bad for those with latex allergies and therefore, my doctor will write me a note documenting this so I don't have to get a scary Hep B shot or a scarier tetanus shot. I broke out in hives the last time I had one. Score.
Steven has the creeping death again or possibly my lost PMS, so he's gone to lay down. Therefore, I'm finishing his spiked eggnog before I got to bed. I need to drink on a school night. Really.
Kris's son is unbelievably cute!
Aaaand I just realised it's after 11 and I need to go to bed so I can take a mad test tomorrow. Doooooom.

So, evidently the teacher who died is being buried tomorrow. I guess they've cancelled school, so I have no idea if we're going (since Steven works there) or if he just wants to swing by the funeral home or what. I never liked the guy; I guess he was friendly to Steven. Who the christ knows? I think we already have plans tonight. All I really know is that I'm actually hungry. The salad I intended to have for lunch when down the the garbage disposal. It was frozen fucking solid. I like frozen peas and green beans, not salad. I'm very, very bitter. We actually have peanut butter and bread, but honestly? The peanut allergy has been bothering me more than usual with this stupid damned cold, so I don't want to push it. Of course, if we go out, I'll probably get pad thai, which is only slightly less stupid.
I really want thai now. Dammit.
I'm really itchy for some reason. The obvious would be that I got into something I'm allergic to or that I shouldn't have opened the door and stood in the cold air whilst overheated. I loves me some hives.
I want to check out the new gym tonight, but we already have plans, I think, with Steven's best friend and his wife.
I wish this damned itch would go the hell away. ARGH!
I don't think I've seen them since summer, when Joy and I went out shopping/for ice cream while the guys fixed the pond. Wait... maybe when his mom moved..?
Why are they using the Santa from the Ruldolph the Red Nosed Reindeer claymation thingy to promote Polar Express? I hate Hallmark sometimes.
We bought the gingerbread house parts over the week-end for the kid. We're not going to actually make it yet (read: we haven't let him see it because he's all about the instant gratification); probably not until like the third week of December. It is almost December. Wow... I need to think about where we want to put the tree. Steven's bringing his menorah over this week, so we can get set up for Hanukkah.
Stupid time. I should get going.

Damn Dishes
Mar. 3rd, 2004 01:53 pmHooray! No chicken pox for El Kiddo! This means now I get to play the Holy Jesus, What Am I Now Allergic To? game. My guess is either the new detergent or the new body wash that smells like Rose Petal Place. Either that or I'm just dry as a motherfucker, which is also sincerely a possibility.
Especially since it seems like I'm a-covered with Ye Olde Stress Rash.
I'm so excited I found coupons for Aveeno lotions and that they're on sale at Walgreen's this week. Someone up there loves me good.
Wow. For an english major, those last two sentences were atrocious.
I played nice today and did about 70% of the dishes we haven't been doing because there's been no hot water. Steven promised he'd do the rest and, to boot, has also said he'll take me to lunch today, since there is no easy cooking food in the house. I don't if it's due to laziness or lack of cash, but I've got to start buying more lunchy things. Oh well, I think I'll be having soup for lunch again tomorrow.
I need to find some socks so I can go pick up Steven and eat aforementioned Thai lunch. I need Crazy Fried Rice, even though it makes me sick every single time I eat it. Gotta love willful stupidity.

I've come to the conclusion that the worst thing someone can do is to get you to start thinking about something like "headlice" or "chicken pox" and you automatically start itching like there's no tomorrow. I personally have been itching since last night.
Evidently, despite having had the shot (without Steven's knowledge [a big no-no], I might add), El Kiddo seems to have contracted what is either a cold, prickly heat/eczema, or the chicken pox. Which one of these it is is one of life's great mysteries since she has, evidently, decided not to take him to see his pediatrician. Hey... could be asian bird flu! Who knows!
So Steven told me this last night and, coincidently, I've been scratching since then. This could also be directly related to the new detergent we're using or the new body wash I've been using. Either way, it's no fun, at all. I've taken an assload of benedryl and sudafed and I am feeling a touch less itchy.. Probably allergies. Go, me.
What else is new..? Still trying to find another job, but no one's called back. I found a note from the new girl complaining about me to one of the other girls there. She also can no longer work Sundays. There's no way in hell I'm going to go back to killing myself for full week-ends. It was way too stressful. I'll straight out quit first. Here's hoping that I can find something else before push comes to shove.
La la la, I should be doing dishes. We found an ant this morning and there's nothing I hate more than ants, except for spiders. Just gross.
Other than downloading a list of counselors to deal with the reoccurrent nightmares, I have not done anything of use yet today. I still need to call a few places about apartments, I need to call and actually make counseling appointments, I need to find food for lunch (that would be novel), and, above all, I need to check the mail.
Here's to another day.

Damn Hives
Feb. 24th, 2004 01:21 amI 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.
Our new (semi-unpacked) dishes
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.
