Allergies, Concerts and Home Improvements, Oh My!

Got a pretty good sized lump where my allergy shot was given today. I don’t know if I ever mentioned it or not but I got at least a month behind on allergy shots back in late May. With all of the house buying stuff, moving and then our quarterly billing time at work I just had absolutely no time to go get an allergy shot. All I can say about that is that I will be officially caught up as of this Friday and I will try my damnedest to never get behind again. It has been hell!

I go back to the allergy clinic for my follow up in mid August and I think they may have to start giving me half of my extracts in each arm. A week or two ago I came home with a knot in my arm the size of a tennis ball! I am NOT exaggerating here. And today it is about the size of a golf ball. But it’s not just a knot, it is an itchy, irritated and sore lump. It hurts to even move my arm. Now, I know it’s not deadly pain but I really don’t want to have to feel like this every single week :( I’ll just have to talk to them when I go back in August.

Dad came over tonight and installed a motion sensor porch light on our front porch. I am sooo happy to finally have one of these! We put a light bulb in the porch light when we first moved in but we can hardly ever remember to turn the light on when we leave and it is still light out. Now we are worry-free! Hah.. Modern day technology is the bomb :) What would we do without it???

The only other real news is that at the end of this month we will be attending D-Fest! I am sooo excited. And also, Gene and I have pretty much made the decision to splurge with our money by purchasing tickets to see The Cure in either Houston or Dallas, Texas. I am really excited and can’t wait until Tickets go on sale :) We are going to make it into a little vacay since we never got one this year. I’ve already decided that I may take off an entire week of work if I am able. Not sure how many great things there are to do in Texas in October but we’ll find something :) Just being away is awesome enough as it is!
