Another Round of the Itchies

Last night was even worse. The itchies were horrible dots that merged into itchier continents on my skin. Red raised patches that itched to the bone and no amount of scratching, caressing or cold water could soothe.
It was now or never.
I have vials of Benadryl IV/IM and a disposable syringe for times like these. But [...]

Allergies or the Horrible Itch

I broke out in hives last night. I couldn’t sleep for all of the itching everywhere. (and I mean, EVERYWHERE!) All the way into places that proved unappealing to scratch.
I really don’t know what triggered it.
Yesterday I ate and drank:

Wendy’s baked potato chili and cheese
Wendy’s biggie iced tea
Wendy’s super value salad (half)
Fibisco chocolate mallows (3 [...]

I decided to try Psyllium Husk. It was [...]

The Annual Alfonso Anilao Weekend

My family goes on a weekend trip to Anilao every year during the summer. (with my mother’s siblings and their families, my father forever absent) This year was a bit different. This year I prepared for the trip a little more than I usually do. I brought music for everyone, some playing cards, and DVD’s [...]

I Have a Confession to Make.

I spent the last couple of hours accomplishing nothing.
I emailed a few people. Browsed through other people’s blogs. Sure I finished making mashed potatoes for dinner, but I spent the entire afternoon dreaming about what I will put in my non-existent website, (at least not yet anyway..soon I hope with the help of the sweetie [...]
