My doctor appointment was definitely worth it so far. I went in and told them all about my never ending cold and just wanting to see exactly what I’m allergic too. They ran a test for 72 different things on my back. Whatever drop caused a big bump to appear was something I was allergic to. Nothing was too surprising from the test results. I am allergic to about every tree, grass and weed there is. Not really the trees themselves, but the pollen they produce when blooming the leaves, flowers or whatever. I am also allergic to most of the airborne molds, but I always figured as much. The good news is that I’m not allergic to any of the animals they tested for, except cockroaches. I guess Amstel can stay for now. The one strange thing was the food allergies, according to them I am allergic to corn, soybeans and almonds. If you really know me, you know I love corn! That was a little shocking, but she said often that food reactions can often be a false positive. No big deal really. So then you are probably asking why I am having so many problems since my allergens are all spring and summer issues. Well she said that I am some sort of virus infection. She prescribed some antibiotics and steroids to knock this crap out of my system. It seems to be working so far! I feel so much better right now and it should be gone within 5 to 10 days. If not then I’ll just go back in and they will run some x-rays or something, but for now I can breathe once again!

I’m not entirely sure what we are going to do this weekend. Kim wants to watch Garden State tonight, so we may just have a night in. I want to see Napoleon Dynamite as well. Kim has been trying to make plans with Joel and Amanda so we’ll see if something goes down with them. We don’t have any concrete plans for the super bowl, but I’m sure something will work out…

    Glad to see you weren’t allergic to dogs or rabbits :) Amstel would hate to lose his home! All these years I thought about taking you in to get you tested but I knew you would hate me for letting them stick you all over the back :) glad you were brave enough to do it finally!!!
