hives! or: how i've spent my last few days.
hrrrumph.
so on tuesday i woke up with a few itchy hives around my stomach. i dabbed a little baking soda paste on them and got dressed so we could run all of our last minutes x-mas errands. the hives pretty much stayed away until the middle of the night when i woke up with my eyes swollen and my hands swollen and more hives around my back.
i got some meds from the doc the next day and this morning i took my last prednisone. i have no idea what i'll wake up to tomorrow but i suspect more itchies and more spots. and probably swollen fingers.
SO, that has been my past few days. i am so fortunate that my mom has been able to come help me out with cleaning and laundry and helping with boo boo. it's so weird because it always seems like there is such a buildup of excitement before x-mas and then, POOOOF IT'S CHRISTMAS and then ohmigod, it's all over. i hate feeling like crap now because i want to play with boo boo and relax and go to the playground but i also feel like i need to figure out what the hell is up with my body. it's really hard with a little toddler to take care of.
we spent today at my gramma's house and it was nice and low-key. boo boo got to play at the playground and was so exhausted that he went to bed at 7:30. so that is good.
okie dokie. i guess that is all the SUPER EXCITING news i have for now and hopefully i won't wake up tomorrow looking like a troll.

it's monday. funday. bunday.
it's corey's birthday today. this morning i made DELICIOUS biscuits and snausage gravy. after that me and boopster drove to u-district to look for a gift for corey while he took a birthday nap at home. on the way there i heard this song on the radio:
sharon van etten 'piece signs': (the first song played but there are more after that!)
i really like the song. so i downloaded it and have already listened to it several times.
so we walked around looking for a pressie for corey. i wanted to get him a vintage filson jacket of some sort but had shitty luck looking at the used stores in the u-district. either no stores had them or the store clerks were like "filson.....? i'm not familiar with that ....brand...". which i think is shit, especially if you work at the red light. AND ALSO IF YOU LIVE IN SEATTLE. come on. but whatever. so anyway. i got him something else.
i think we need to go back to the ubookstore tomorrow to play with the lego table and get some glitter.
oh, while i was looking for video's on youtube this video of my friend nick's band popped up:
