Well, I am not sure how much stock I put in the last of the allergy tests. I am allergic to Sugar, Wheat, Chicken, Flounder, peanuts, Coffee and Tea. I don’t eat flounder as I don’t like the taste and I already knew of the peanut allergy. The issue is sugar and wheat. I have been eating them all my life with what I thought was no reaction Do you KNOW how much stuff sugar and wheat are in? Soy sauce has wheat. Sugar is in chocolate (whic h I am not allergic to). I am going to have to find a bread source that doesn’t use wheat, like a rice or something. I was told that some rye breads do not have wheat flower. I haven’t found one yet. My meal replacement bars have peanuts and wheat. I eat english muffins for breakfast, so those have to go. What am I going to replace them with? I did find a sugar free ice cream, i forgot to look for wheat in it. Chicken is going to be difficult also, life style changes meant lower amounts of beef in the meals. Not now I guess
I do wonder if these allergies are what is making me feel so run down all the time, and over time too much is what has been giving me hives. I was given info on a rotation elimination diet. How can I eliminate something that is in everything?
Just a warning if you go in for allergy testing. The food testing was the worst. Thank goodness for benadryl and benadryl lotion.

One more day of being a pin cushion and I am done! so far some weeds, tree pollens, dust thingies, and molds are allergies. Tomorrow apparently is the rough one…foods. I hope the benadryl doesn’t put me to sleep until AFTER Dancing with the Stars.
This weekend went by fast. I didn’t get alot done. Darn laundry needs to be done again.
!2 hours of off and on sleep, mostly on is a good thing on occasion.
This is Witha’s last week at work. It is going to be weird without her.
Why hasn’t it rained hard enough to wash my car?
Where is any rain for that matter?
Oregano is a hearty plant. Mine is coming back after me completely ign oring it for a while. My chives arent doing bad either.
Basil is temperamental. So is dill.
I enjoyed having the fresah dill and basil this summer. It does “brighten” thing up like they say on tv.
I am trying to bring myself to make an afghan for someone. For some reason I am having a block against working on it right now. I guess I need to have some things work themselves out one way or another before I put energy into it, as for some reason that does affect my working on the afghan. It is supposed to be a Christmas present…
Budget cuts are affecting morale at work. We have been told RIGHT NOW there “shouldn’t” be any staff positions cut. We’ll see.
Update tomorrow on pin cushion day 3. Fun fun…

I was chastised by Celtic Mama yesterday as it has been over 2 weeks since I posted anything. I didn’t realize it had been that long. Wow. I apologize to SB, CM and REvog and to the few others who read this blog.
Biggest news is that I am seeing a ENT dr. for all of my sinus problems. I am getting all types of testing done, worrying about how I am going to pay for it all and itching like crazy after the allergy testing. I am also going to have surgery to fix a deviated septum (something I was probably born with). I am told that could be causing alot of my problems.
3rd date guy isn’t getting a name. I have only exchanged 2 emails since we went to Busch Gardens.
Witha is leaving work at the end of the month, and we have hired someone to replace her. I think it should work out.
This morning on the way in there was someone with the license plate 5 RDHEDS that was driving really scary. Very much tailgating. The even scarier part was that she had kids in the car. If I had stopped, my poor little Echo would have been crushed by her minivan.
I am starting a new afghan, granny squares this time. Knitting is not going so well. I can get started ok, but after a while my knits and purls all look the same.
I have made pear bread for the first time ever and it was good. It kind of has a banana bread/zucchini bread type texture. Interesting.
I have lost about 15 lbs total from over the Summer. Getting used to lower fat foods was harder at first but now I almost like them better.
My african violet at work finally bloomed! I don’t know what changed but it did bloom!
OK, more later and I promise I wont go 2 weeks between posts again.

Sorry for the lack of posts. Hell weeks are over at work mostly. It has taken alot of my energy as we are also interviewing for Witha’s job. I am really going to be sad to see her go. Not alot other than work is going on. The guy I went out on the third date with has not been out with me since and has not called in over a week, even to return my call. So no name for him.
I am so glad this is a holiday weekend. Maybe the burn on my arm will finally heal all the way. It was quite ugly for a while. Now it has healed enough to keep catching on my sleeve.
Anyone got knitting hints?
