Today has been a slow day. I always have projects that I can work on. I have never been one to be BORED, maybe not entertained, but I can keep myself busy.

Last night, I finally completed the week long portion of my class. I decided to have dinner in the restaurant of the hotel. I am a picky eater to begin with - but if it mows or clucks I will eat it. So the special was a prime rib, but what they brought looked like rib-eye with the bone. Whatever, it was beef. Of course, I had no interest in the accompanying vegetables. The meat had what I thought was chopped parsley on top - I scrapped most of it away, but didnt pay much attention to it. I spent most of dinner on the phone with my best friend - chatting and discussing children issues. Ate nothing else other than bread rolls and had a glass of wine.

On the way back to the room - I felt HOT, and prickly. When I get to the room - my face is flushed and way red. I am covered in hives.

I do my typical Claritin, Benadryl and Tagamet to clear things up. Took awhile to start feeling better. By then the Benadryl was kicking in well and I was feeling way drowsy. Pepe had just awaken and was ready for his daily phone calls and talking. I was having the hardest time communicating and staying with it. He kept saying "well I guess you are preoccupied" mummmm whatever... Im not preoccupied - IM MEDICATED!!! so I sent pictures from my phone to his email, so he could see what I looked like. That might of helped, but I was fading quickly.
Anyway - I survived, despite whatever it was that they put on the food.
