deeeeeaaatttttthhhhh
Soooo I am now a member of the Sisterhood of Label Watchers! orz
Sunday at work for lunch they had a choice of chicken or ham. I actually wanted the chicken because I'm not terribly fond of ham to begin with, and the brines are usually chock-full of awesome things like nitrates, which makes Amy itchy even though I had not had that much of a reaction to them, but they were running low on the chicken and what the hell, I didn't usually have anything but minor hives with ham, rite?
Forty five minutes after lunch I was running hives, coughing, had trouble breathing and had tingling in hands and feet, to the point that I had Pers Prefs take me down to St Vinnies, where they congratulated me on my hilariously high blood pressure and gave me a shot of benedryl (ick) and waited until my blood pressure agreed to lower to a level that approached normal, and then Dawn picked me up and we got more Benedryl and I came home. (Mild food reaction, says the paperwork. God help me if I ever get a major one.) And spent the evening and day asleep, even though I meant to go to the library and work on ST Big Bang. orz And now it's Tuesday and it took a huge effort of will to walk two blocks to get freaking coffee and a pastry.
Which may or may not be due to the reaction, since it's been like two days, but wow, that was a pretty crappy moment in my life anyway.
GROAN.
Anyway now I've got to work on ST Big Bang for reals - I have about six thousand words ready to go in notebook but I keep peering dubiously at it and shit, I hate transcribing like poison.
