Dear Body,
When I plan a relaxing weekend, you know what you shouldn't do?
GIVE ME HIVES.
There I was on Friday, planning to spend the afternoon--and then the whole weekend--doing nothing but relaxing (reading books, watching movies, spoiling my dog (though I'll grant you I'm not sure how much more spoiled she can get) ) and what do you do?
GIVE ME HIVES.
The first few I shrugged off. No big deal! I get hives! I'll be fine! They'll go away!
They didn't. They hung around. And they brought friends.
By Saturday morning, I was on a double dose of my regular antihistamine plus lots of Benadryl. Yes, it's true, I was relaxed (to the point of incoherence, even!) but lying around staring blankly at the ceiling while I dozed on and off for a WHOLE DAY was not relaxing. It was all I could do.
Even now, they still aren't gone, but please, immune system o'mine, have pity on me and ease up. Pretty please? I promise that if you relax, I'll relax, and then we'll both win.
Love,
Elizabeth
PS Congrats to Kate, who won the ARC of Evernight!

Oh, my - if it's not one thing, it's the other!
Have you considered the plastic bubble lifestyle lately?
;)

Hahaha I agree with the plastic bubble idea... and get your husband to take pictures. :-) It'll be great!... for us (your loyal fans). :-D
Aw, poor you! I hope you feel better soon!
Have you seen the movie bubble boy with Jake Gyllenhaal? If you had to get a bubble you should get one like that! =D
