Here I go sacrificing my dignity for your entertainment. But, hey, it’s Friday.
No, I am not at work. Today’s a sick day. In fact, I am sitting here at my home computer trying to make out the screen. I can’t see it - or much of anything - because my eyes are swollen shut. No joke, I am running into walls.
I am suffering from the 18th hour of a massive allergic reaction. It’s only been 6 months now since I have had these bouts and I’ve yet to find out the cause of them. But last night’s, lingering long this morning, is certainly the doozy, the whopper of all allergic reactions. I look like Uga.
I sent Fitz and friends a pic of my mug and he responded with great concern (and I quote), “You sorta look like a retarded albino Asian kid.” Well, I’m rubber and you’re glue… take that.

Please, please, don’t fall all over yourself out of concern for me. I have now digested my seventh Zyrtec/Benadryl. Surely somewhere in the next few hours relief will greet me like an old friend. I just hope my face shrinks back to normal size.
Wishing you all a great, allergy-free weekend…

Number 2?
Boy, I have woken up next to alot of scary broads but Summer this morning certainly takes the cake.
Will, you are so fired.
A little context, for our viewing public who may not appreciate the transformation.
Damn you, Fitz, and your love for the cookie monster pic (go ahead, post it). It just won’t die!
But the transformation is a drastic one… off to down another Zyrtec.
“C” is for cookie, that’s good enough for me.
Maybe you’re really a bug in a Summer suit.
Fitz: don’t let it eat you.
If I may say (and I will because I’m too old not to)…
Before: Cute as a button.
After: Pikachu?
My dear, what on earth is in the water? (That’s an environmental question.)
You will all be pleased to know that I have an appointment with the allergist on Wednesday. I’ll update you once I know what I’m allergic to!
Update: I am officially allergic to cats, dogs, coconut, solarcaine, drywall and other construction materials, nickel, latex and a chemical commonly found in beauty products. And we’re only halfway through with testing.
Grumble grumble.
Since you have to throw them away, anyway, can I have all your nickels? And makeup? Just kidding. About the makeup.
Actually, my new nickel-free diet won’t involve the purging of coins. It will, however, threaten my killer collection of costume jewelry. Devastating.
I love eating costume jewelry, too.
