Really happy that your cousin is coming along. It will be a slow process and knowing she will be returning home without her best friend is really tough. On one hand I was hoping she wouldn’t be told until she was in recovery a bit longer. Then again, finding it out now, and with the support of family and friends, she will be OK. But, for some reason, I have a strong suspicion that she already knew.

A lot is happening. My new eyeglasses are ready and will pick them up tomorrow. I also need to renew my driver’s license and will do that as soon as I can. The electrician will be here Tuesday, so I need to do fast work on the MB and Bath. Also contacted our Insurance Company and will meet with them next week. And, yes, I have the directions. I also checked to see when Easter and Passover will be celebrated this year and it’s early. Sounds like Easter is the first Sunday in April and Passover begins right about the same time. If we need to return North, we will need to leave before the end of February/beginning of March. This is to beat the rush and the traffic congestion on all highways before the holidays. Guess there will be no rest in between before the long hike.

Went on line to Heidi’s website. The tango dancers have my eye. Incredible workmanship. The movement is so realistic. Have a great evening. Happy walking under the stars and moonlight.

Hi and thank you for your posts. I am feeling better. Yesterday was a fluke that hasn’t happened since this allergy started. All I can do is take the antihistamines and keep popping every couple of hours until it dies down. Usually makes me very groggy and so yesterday I was totally wiped out. But I do remember meeting with the person who will be supervising the roof reconstruction. The next doctor’s appointment I will be asking for an Epi-Pen. That works faster, however, will need to go to the hospital where I can be supervised.

In many respects, my allergy is very similar to your symptoms. I can tolerate some sulfites. The problem is reading the ingredients on every label. I always stay away from the ones that I know cause havoc which includes preservatives, cinnamon, corn starch, corn syrup, molasses. The one item I purchased from Costco was a thing for the teeth that is made of plastic. Initially, my feeling was it would be OK since it was manufactured by GUM. No, it’s a man made plastic. So, never assume, read the label. And like you, the allergic reaction can last up to three days. Yep, those three days are gruesome. You with alka seltzer and me with Pepto. And one thing I need to do more often is on the repeat of items I like, I must still read the label on the back because invariably changes are made. I will end with, eat what you like, but limit the intake so there will be no more reaction.

@taci,

I feel your pain with all the stress in the family and going in and out of the house feeding
animals my head is hurting and I am going to take a shower and some meds and call it
a night. I also have some calming tea. 💕

Fight it before it gets really bad. I see the weather in California is getting serious.
Stay safe and get some rest.

@xango,

Thank you for the prayers and from everyone who may have said a prayer. ✨😘
Cousin is still under heavy sedation and the shock of losing her husband.
Our family is strong and we are going to be there for her. ✨My mother is upset.

Xango I am so glad you are feeling better you know your body better than anyone.
As long as you don’t have severe pain and you know what caused it you should be
fine. ✨✨

I am a little tired tonight as I did a wee bit too much. My trash day is tomorrow and I was
a busy girl today. 😎✨

This is how the moon looks in OZ it is calming me down as I let the light of the moon
soak into me. 😘😎

Peace Out Peeps have a great evening. ✨✨

@Sheba,

Hello Sheba, how are you doing today?
Thanks for the bear hugs, beautiful.
It was a cloudy day with some rain today.

I am glad your cousin is alert and making progress.
I will keep saying prayers for her and asking Saint Anthony for his help.

I do feel better today, and didn’t contact the doctor. I felt it not necessary, because of the combination of what I eat that day. And since I used to get really bad heartburn, I will be more careful what I eat now. Not quite 100 percent yet but getting there.

Sending prayers to you and your cousin.
Take care Sheba.

Hi, how are you feeling today? And how is your mouth, is it better?
I hope you are feeling better today.
I did read your post and left you a post last night.
I didn’t contact the doctor, since I started to feel better. Not quite 100 percent yet but getting there.
Getting me to a doctor is like pulling teeth.
Take care Oodie,

@Sheba, Hope your cousin continues to do well in her recovery.
What a bright happy hello for a happy Thursday. I am getting a head cold but hope to fend it off as best possible with lemon water, spices, etc…
Loved the walk away post and many others.
