Good afternoon Peeps well OZ is a mess today but no one was hurt during the storm. ✨
Beautiful large trees were uprooted what a sight many people do not have power due
to downed power lines. Very warm prayers up all service is restored. ✨

In My Mind. 😎✨

@oodiebom,

I am just now logging on HSN I am sorry you had a bad reaction to the food. I worry about
that when you are in public especially taking certain meds that can make you drowsy.
I am so glad the nurse gave you their cell number. Thank God. ✨

I will write to you in a few minutes. Oodie please be careful. Hubby wants to come home
and I don’t blame him.

Good morning. Fell asleep when I returned home (in bed) and when I awoke just a few minutes ago posted in the Trivia thread from yesterday. Things did not go as planned yesterday. I did go to the Farmer’s Market and this time they had some food to try. They had Argentine shrimp on sale and one of the owner’s wives was baking some in a pan for everyone to try. The Argentine shrimp I always seemed to pass, but this time I decided to try a sample. As you said earlier to xango, “nothing like fresh fish on a hot summer day.” Well,l I did try it and it was delicious. I then went on to the dessert and bread section and picked up chocolate chip cookies for hubby. Two minutes later I was at checkout and then things started to happen. The inside of my mouth became extremely sore. The pain and the itch unbearable. I couldn’t wait to get to the van. I knew right away that this was an allergy attack from sulfites. The shrimp was the culprit. I realized, too late that there had to be preservatives in that frozen shrimp and that is why I never purchased it. So, before putting everything in the car I popped a chlortab and a Benadryl. Then I unloaded some things into a cooler that had an ice pak. The pain and itch started to go away. Phew, that was the end of that. By this time I was running late and so I went directly to rehab and brought the cooler with the cart. Hubby was in a wheelchair. Oh, forgot one thing. This is so funny. The receptionist mentioned that my hubby was in the wheelchair and made it to the front door and proceeded to want out. Said he wanted to go home. Hmm. Cute and sad at the sametime. But, there was a question. How was he going to get home when I wasn’t there yet???? He had no idea what the weather was outside. Thankfully, one of the aids brought him back to his room. I unpacked the goodies in his room. He couldn’t wait to try the cookies. I also brought two huge blueberry muffins, homemade by the Amish for breakfast. Since he ate dinner, he wasn’t hungry for the grinder. I purchased a lobster roll for my dinner. But before I could sit down, he had opened the chocolate chip cookies and he gave me a small piece to try. They were still warm from the oven and it melted in your mouth. Within seconds I realized that this was a huge mistake. This time the pain and itch returned with such vengeance I had to sit down immediately. The pain more than I ever had before. Hubby knew what was happening and asked if I had my pills and I nodded yes. He was able to get my purse and handed it to me. He had water on the cart. I proceeded to take one benadryl and two chlortabs. I had to pop two more benadryls before the pain and the itch subsided. I was able to say hello to everyone in Trivia and said I would be leaving shortly. That’s the last I remember. I awoke at 10:15 pm, grabbed my things and drove home. However, the head nurse/office mgr. was still there and hubby told him what happened. He gave me his cell phone number and asked that I call when I got home, which I did. I also remembered that I had left the grinder for hubby on the bureau and mentioned this to him. He said he would put it in their refrigerator and he will have it for lunch. And now you know the rest of the story. I awoke just a few minutes ago. Must have fallen asleep at the computer. I think I will get some more shuteye. This time in bed. No pain. No itch. The swelling on my jawline is gone. Happy person I am. Have not had an attack like this in years. Will write more either today or tomorrow. Take care and enjoy the day.
Let Poppy out back if you still have triple digits unless you get him some booties. The hot sun on the pavement not conducive to paws. You may want to purchase a kiddie pool for your backyard at night. The racoons love it and some cats enjoy the water as well.

Sheba, hello. What plans do you have for the weekend?
Hopefully something fun.
Today I hiked late since it was so hot, a young coyote crossed my path. Everyone around here is so used to seeing them. It was interesting because I spoke with some regulars along the path. It was nice once set and dusk set in. Next time, I must remember the bug spray.
Yes, still feeling a bit sick but am hopeful it will be gone soon.

Sounds like Mr. Oddie is doing better. Good news today.

Awesome!
