Forever In Search Of my Muse

~~~~ It has been a few days since the 4Th of July that Sunday i was busy with Son and spending time with him and Monday i worked all day in the store that i work at and today well today was fun, but i will get to that later in this blog.

~~~~ i had a great time on the 4Th Roommate and i took Son to see the fireworks near out home and we all enjoyed them greatly. While waiting for the fireworks to start some stupid teenager through a cheap fire cracker of some kind that he had lit and it landed in the dry grass not to far from us and was still burning but had not gone off like it should have and was smoking really badly. There was a lady not to far that was coughing and commenting as to what an idiot this kid was. Now i had a 2 liter soda bottle with me full of hot water to help with my menstrual cramps so i used the water in the bottle to put out the burning fire cracker of some kind. The lady near us thanked me and i noticed that she had a young boy with here about 5 years old that she had been worried about getting hurt because of that idiot kids actions. This little boy and Son, who just turned 10, became fast friends and they were running abound and having a good time while the fireworks that were actually there to see went off. i greatly enjoyed the show and Son had fun watching them and running around with his new friend. i talked to the lady for a little while and we have become acquaintances that could turn into a good friendship over time. Now we did not do the whole picnic and carnival thing like my family does in Ohio but i still had a great time and so did Son. Plus we are having a problem with mosquitoes out here they are very numerous because of all the wet weather we have been having and make it very hard to stay outside for any length of time without spraying yourself and others with off and or using incense or candles with citronella in them. i use Gonesh Outdoor Incense with citronella and it works if you are going to be sitting in one place and not have kids running all around but i know Son well and that would not have worked for him so i decided to try the OFF Clip Ons that they been advertising on TV for months now and they really worked. What is nice about those is you just turn them on and clip them to you belt or pocket just like you would a cellphone case and they cover you from head to toe and well too without all that nasty oily crap being sprayed all over your skin and hair.

~~~~ Now as to why i said today was fun well it is no longer today as it now after midnight so i will give the date. July 7th i woke up around 6am with my lip feeling funny like it was swollen and numb i really did not think overly much about it and went to find where Roommate had fallen asleep because the TV was still on in the living room and he needed to get up for work. When i found him sitting at his PC in his bedroom wide awake. i asked him what was wrong with my lip because it felt swollen but just my upper lip not my whole mouth or both lips even. He said yes it was swollen and asked what i had been bit by. i told him nothing as far as i know but that it just felt really weird. i took some Claritin and put an icepack on lip. The swelling went down while the ice was on my lip but as soon as the ice was taken off the swelling went right back up again. Roommate was worried about the swelling because of where it was and what it could cause so he stayed home to make sure i was okay and take me somewhere for help if i needed it. i called the doctor's office and they told me to come in. So Roommate drove me to the doctor's office and i was put on a steroid treatment and gave me an EPIPEN as well to always carry with me in case this allergic reaction comes back stronger next time. Because that is what they say this is, an allergic reaction to something that i came in contact with or ate but i have not touched or eaten anything different lately. i just have to be careful and keep a closer eye on the things i am working with to see if it is anything there that caused this.
