So it turns out I'm allergic to LIFE!

Well hacking, coughing, and spitting have been a very normal part of my life for quite a while now. I had sort of accepted this and adjusted to it, more or less, as much as I was able. But recently I finally went to a specialist to see what the deal was. So far I've taken two steps to check into this. One was an x-ray of my sinuses. The other, an allergy test. Now I don't know if you've ever had an allergy test but for those of you who haven't here is how the process takes place. First you give them 25 bucks. Dang. Then you take off your shirt and lay flat on your stomach while they take a little needle dealy and prick little holes in your back. Then they take the liquid form of everything from horse hair to birch wood to eggs (I am apparently allergic to all 3) and pour little dabs of it over the holes to see if you react. Its not all that unplesent, it's a little itchy and it takes a while but it doesn't hurt and the lady was very nice. Unfortunately I reacted to several things, mostly located on the left side of my back in a spot that was really hard to reach. I reacted highly to just about every kind of grass, tree, and pollen. I am monstrously allergic to dust and dust mites. But only a tad to cat hair, and not at all to dog hair. I am also just a little allergic to turkey. Weird eh. I eat eggs every week and had no idea that I had an allergy to them. I haven't quite decided if I'm going to cut them out of my diet. They are a crucial part of my regular breakfast at Sam's. We'll have to see. Anyways, thats all in case you're interested. I better go now before I discover I'm allergic to blogs!

Pick me up

Well It is Monday. Sigh. There just doesn't seem to be much good with Monday. It's the start of the work week (when did it end?), it's freaking cold outside, I'm sore from lifting heavy things all weekend, and I'm cold and there are wolves after me. But all that aside there really is a bright spot in my Monday morning. It's called the "Men's Breakfast." Something to look forward to on Monday. Where we can fellowship, share and laugh. We can all eat bacon and eggs and Matt gets his wussy order of toast. It's just a great way to start the week on the right note. A nice "pick me up" if you will and I'm sure that you will. So have a happy Monday and if you don't have some sort of way to kick-start your week hope you have a happy Monday anyways.
