Yesterday was the first day of Spring, how exciting!
It also coincides with my new pair of prescription sunnies and specs from Spec Savers. They're forever having specials to get you to buy two pairs so even though I didn't need another pair of specs, I still got one anyway!
That reminds me that I'll need to organise my contacts when I'm in Fiji.
Last night I broke out in hives. It wasn't unexpected. Before I break out my ears will turn bright red and itch like crazy. Then just before I'm ready for bed, I will start breaking out.
My bright red and itchy ears started yesterday after lunch. And it can't have been an allergy to lunch because it was Vindaloo from the cafeteria which I eat quite often.
Luckily it wasn't as bad as last year - this year I still had the meds from last time so it wasn't a sleepless night and feeling sorry for myself.
Nope, this time I took a Loratadine, which is an antihistamine, slapped on my Celestone M ointment (which had expired in June of this year), and off to sleep I went.
I'm still breaking out in hives, but it's very minor. Unfortunately my ears are starting to itch again.
Time to pop into the Chemist downstairs for a fresh tube of ointment I think.
