Just Pass Me By

Well I figured out what Shadow sore was on her chest the other day after we left that one Hotel. The damn dog got freaking fleas. I am allergic to, I have started treating it. Shadow started getting other bad red spots and was chewing on herself and just really restless. It just took one flea to cause trouble for her. If she not clearing up with the red marks by this weekend I will call the local vet here and get her in.. So the hotel we stayed at that I broke out at and we thought might have bedbugs we found out it was Fleas. So far no bedbugs have shown up. They better not.
I might need to talk to the Pharmacist Jobs here about what I can use that will not cause my asthma issues. The last stuff gave me some issues. Now I have to make sure everything gets several cleans and shadow gets a few more baths. I have had Otis for 16 yrs or so and never got fleas. I have had shadow for 3 years never had fleas and now I stay at a hotel and the dog gets fleas. It was the hotel in SD I do not think we will go there again. Nope not worth it.

I have never noticed how many things hide wheat gluten or wheat as a filler. Since my gluten flare up I have learned more about how much has it in it. What I would like to know is why does Rye bread need wheat, or better yet why does Tomato soup need wheat in it. I wanted to get some corn shell chicken things the other day it said it was made with Corn flour. So why did they need to put the wheat in it. It supposed to be corn not flour. Does it not defeat the purpose of it being corn if your adding flour to it. Blue Cross NC wouldn’t add red cross to its ingredients.

We take Dad out once a week. We try to let him choose but it getting hard to do that. I honestly shouldn’t be eating out at all with my allergies. Now with the wheat gluten added on my can not eat list, it makes eating out more challenging. I can tell when a waiter gets it and when they do not. I normally let them now right away about the pork allergy because its a bad one, the wheat is a new one. I hate telling them this. Dad wants pizza, which unless I make it is off limits I will have to try to make a nice pizza crust for us here. Dad does not seem to understand that I can’t just eat any old thing and be fine. I understand he got memory problems and I will need to tell him no, but I hate saying no. This bugs me, because his eating out is special to him. Now I have noticed that my break outs have gotten better maybe the best way to treat acne for me was getting the stuff out of my diet which was causing me problems. Tonight we are having BBQ beef burgers. I am homemaking the buns and I am really hoping they work well I found them from a site. I might post them here if they are as good as they claim if they like a oversized hockey puck I won’t waste my time with it again.
Last night Hubby and dad both had bread where we went, and I like there bread its good. Just I can’t eat it, I really wanted to cry but crying wouldn’t have resolved it. Just would make them feel bad, and I don’t want them to feel bad because my system is being a pain in the nick. Well I guess with my allergy when the time comes I would have had to give it up them because gluten allergies don’t mix well with pregnancies. I am not pregnant and we are waiting for me to complete my schooling, and his dad no longer living here.
So how am I coping with no wheat, I feel better I just want a cake or cookies or something I am not allowed to eat no more. I am sad but I will get over it. Its better to do what right for my system then stuff it full of bad stuff. I now this on a logical level, just the emotional level is the thing to overcome.

Well, I am not having fun with my diet restrictions, I am now having to cut the wheat gluten out of my diet. I have had some problems when I added it back into my diet. I feel better now but you know when you have restrictions and you know their there thats when you want them the most. I have found a few things I like as snack and dinner, so I am hoping I can find a few more things I like. I am glad I can eat rice, oats, soy. I might try splet and see if that is okay. Rice noodles I like and some crackers. I also discovered a meat company where I can eat all there meat, so that’s exciting the guy from the company called me back and answered all my question, he also emailed my husband. I really appreciate him answering my question and reassuring me.
I really need to find my Bluetooth headset for my cellphone, I am not sure where I put it but it would make my life a little easier when I am shopping or doing other things.

So where I am I staying that I will not stay at again, the Day’s Inn in Worthington Minnesota, on Hwy 59.
I am a little disappointed, I honestly have to say that I have never enjoyed my stay at a Day’s INN. Don’t get me wrong the rooms where clean, and housekeeping did a great job at it. But Customer service I would rate a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. I am not happy at all with their call center or hotel customer service. This was the case the last time I stayed at a days inn. I will never stay here again. So why am I annoyed, okay I
Online Schools degree in Busines management and you’d think these people would have my text book knowledge down pat. They do not.
First it started with customer service to get a room, for my husband and dad and a room for me. Well I explained to the guy that dad was 88 years old and had a mental health dog that would be staying in a room. This was fine. No problem. The problem came when it was time to finalize the reservation, they deducted the money out of my account right away and did not tell me it would be withdrawn immediately. Fine I have the money in my account it would have been nice to know this so I could have transferred money over form saving to cover, checks if any came through which I had one outstanding. It didn’t go through so I was fine, plus I asked a question about when it would go through my account. I am glad I did this had I not I would have overdrafted my account. Okay fine we got the rooms 2 weeks in advance.
Now we get to the hotel last night, we find out there a 10$ pet fee, okay no big deal. I forgot Dad’s papers for the dog, and Shadow stayed with me. My husband and my rooms where spread far apart. Okay I have the dog I am fine, if someone miss with me she will make nose.
The problem with my room is I asked for non-smoking and expressed to the call center that I have a smoke allergy and it’s important I not be in smoking or near it. Well they placed me right next to a chain smoker, so my breathing has gotten worst. I came here with a start of a allergy attack and now I am in a full blown allergy attack. I can barely talk.
They have deactivated my card, just about every time I leave the room. I am frustrated and stressed by this because I fight to get back in my room and have to go to the office. The same happened to my husband today they deactivated his card to his and dad room. So I am just simply disappointed in the quality of service here. I am actually looking forward to go back home, even though i really enjoy my husband sister and his bio mom who i meet today.
On a positive note, I will say again the room was clean, and I have no troubles with the room

Well my allergies are so bad this year, I have had to take at least 3 different allergy meds, and right now, I am on more than that for simple relief. My throats been bugging me, I know this is allergies because all my pain is by the sinuses in where the nose and throat met. I also know because every time I seen the doctor when I thought I caught something from the kids, I get told allergy flare up. I do not want to be on Prednisone, which they like to put me on when I start breaking out from my allergies. I know how to deal with it, and the frustrating thing is I have more troubles with my allergies when I have the A/C on. My hubby doesn’t seem to get I do not like A/C because it seems to help irritate me more.
So today, I had to run to target to get some more allergy meds and throat drops to help soothe the irritation. The nice thing about everything I got I didn’t have to look to make sure a
barcode scanner was available for me to use to find the prices. Some places you have to hunt down the prices and it nice that the target I go to I normally do not have to look. After target, I had to run to the grocery store and then back home and I am already tired out. I worked today and setting up before our children was hard for me because when allergies get this bad breathing is harder, even my coworker said something. Normally I do not get out of breath to much when moving stuff around, but today I did. Guess I might want to find where my rescue inhaler is I might need it.

Well I guess today is not a day for fishing for us. Oh well that will be fine, I going to need some kind of allergy relief. I hate the Air conditioner because every time it on I get my allergies in a bunch and hubby don’t understand why I don’t like it. He complains about it humid well it doesn’t feel humid to me or even warm now when I cook dinner I will probably put it on to keep the apartment form getting to hot. Drives me nuts how much he uses the AC it warm but not horribly warm like he doesn’t get that if we increase our usage of AC then our payment on electric will increase even if we are on the program which takes our payment over 12months and adds it together and then divide it and make the payments lower. Hubby doesn’t seem to get that if that goes up there less money to use on other things.
I do not like running it because I want my monthly payment to say the same.. So he can suffer, or get a fan on.
To bad we can’t get together with our nephew and do fishing today like we had wanted then hubby would not be complaining about the weather. Maybe we can do it next weekend, if the weather is nice enough.

Oh my goodness, I think I am going to scratch my leg off and need some medical assistance program. I didn’t realize at the cabin I got something. I had a little red patch on my leg, and it still here and it just getting itchier and itchier. Well I looked up on line, I knew it was a bug bite or something.. I never had chiggers or anything like it. It looks like they infected me with their young. They are little vampire all over my leg in that patch of skin and it itches. I am telling I have never itched so bad in my life and I have had chicken pox with measles. I remember that as being unpleasant but this is just not cool. I guess tomorrow I better go to the drug store and get something for me to put on my poor leg before I itch my leg off. If that don’t help in a few days I better go to the doctor and make sure I didn’t get a infection of some type. I been doing nothing but itching. I figured it was a spider bite because I tend to react badly to spiders, so I figure it was that but normally by now I feel better and no itchy.

Well I finally figured out why my allergies and asthma has been so bad, its because of the mold which comes during the great thaw. It looks like spider webs so I was assuming that stuff was from some kind of bug or something. I guess I was wrong, I am still sneezing and not feeling the greatest this season. I think spring is going to be a rough season this year for me.
Last week I could barely taste anything this week I can taste food again. I feel like last week most of it was a Fastin type of week, barely ate anything.
Hopefully the mold will go away soon and I can walk the dog longer, she really wants one, and I think walking her more would be good for me. Taking care of dad and the house get a little boring. I will be glad to go back to work on Monday.

One thing for sure I seem to be always catching stuff from our kids at work. I been sick for a couple of days now, but at least today I am starting to feel a bit better. It’s amazing that at the store the counter displays don’t show different meds which are for sale. It started the other night with a head ache and sore throat and now I am stuff up and have a sore throat.
Yesterday I had to stop at the pharmacist for my rescue inhaler I seem to use it more often when I am sick. I got some cold meds there too, and its amazing how every time I get it they want my id. I know because some of the ingredients in these drugs can be made into some type of drug, but honestly I don’t even know how to do it and have no interest in it.
