the wonders of allergies

i guess you all remember when i posted about having hives? that happened in summer, somewhere around July or August. i still didn't figure out what caused that. and actually it happened again in foods class. except there was only one, and that was on my pinky. i just suffered through that one.

anyways, this evening i thought i would be helpful by helping to get dinner together. that involved washing dishes/filling up the dishwasher. so we filled up the dishwasher and got that going, and then i washed dishes. in the pile of dishes to be washed were some cookie sheets. my mom made cookies on friday afternoon/evening. it was for a cookie exchange we did with my mom's extended family at the Parlor. and since one of my seconds cousins and i are allergic to nuts, they made sure to label all the cookies to say if they had nuts or not. my mom made Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. she made a batch with nuts, and a batch without nuts. she made the batch without nuts first, so we would be sure that no nuts got in the stuff that needed to be nut free.

so when i went to wash these dishes, there were still a few nuts on the cookie sheets, since the cookies with nuts were the last to be baked. i didn't think it would be a problem if i washed them, becaues i'm not surverely allergic to nuts. this actually comes in handy, because my siblings love peanut butter and would be very upseat if they couldn't have it anymore. anyways, to make a long story short, i have a mild case of hives from washing those. i really don't like to have to deal with allergies. it's not fun. and i don't want to take Benadryl, because that makes my mouth numb, and i haven't had supper yet. but now they're going away.

so for those of us who have allergies, i know how you feel. and if there's anyone out there allergic to meat, please contact me! i would really like to meet someone allergic to meat. i'm allergic to chicken. it's strange, but true. well, off i go, to a supper...without nuts.
