I think I'm allergic to everything.

enamouredFunny story. Last Wednesday at work, I was doing something and felt a series of bumps behind my ears. I shrugged it off at first, thinking it was this heat rash I sometimes get when I'm overheated. Never mind that I usually get that on my face and arms. It should've been a warning.
I went about my business on Thursday (did Six Flags, had fun) and Friday. The bumps were still there and had started to go down my neck a little. I kept ignoring it and thinking it would go away until Saturday night at work, when they started itching most intensely. By the time that we FINALLY got out that night I wanted to rip my ears off my head. My dad took a look at it and theorized it was poison ivy, and that I'd gotten it from touching Pepper, who likes to run around in the bushes in the backyard and get into God knows what. Yeah.
Sunday morning I went to an urgent care clinic and came out with a prescription for an antihistamine, and even though my ears were still itchy and I had washed off the calamine lotion that had made the itching stop so that the doctor could take a better look at the rash, I put off taking the medicine until I got home. The warning label said that it might make me drowsy, and I didn't feel like possibly passing out at work. We stayed late (again), and I got home about 10:30 and took a pill and was underwhelmed after an hour because I felt astonishingly non-drowsy...
...until about 1 AM, when I started to feel like I'd been hit by a Mack truck of sleepy.
I slept for about seven hours straight with virtually uninterrupted dreams, and that rarely happens to me. I woke up kind of out of it, but really hungry, so I had a bowl of cereal and then proceeded to go back to sleep for another two and a half hours.
My ears feel better, though.
On the non-itchy front: I've read forty books so far this year! I've been keeping lists of what I read since about... four years ago, and I usually average about that many in one year. I don't know what exactly has contributed to the upswing in my reading this year, but I'm glad I've been able to do so much of it.
