I woke up in the middle of the night last night because my ankles were sooo itchy. Put some aloe on (in the dark), went back to sleep. Woke up, shower time, cue scream. With blotchy red marks all over my arms and legs, I am an alien. Fast forward 3 hours of waiting at urgent care later, and they have confirmed what the internet already told me - I'm allergic to penicillin (including the amoxycillin they had me take after I had my wisdom tooth out). SO ITCHY!! And did I mention ITS ON MY FACE?????????? Oh yeah, and it will take 3 days to go away. Lovely. The major danger is if I ever accidentally take it again, apparently. Fast forward a little more, ran 4 incredibly sluggish miles around the neighborhood with Cooper. I'll blame it on thinking about how itchy I was and the 2 Benadryls I had just taken beforehand. I wore a hat and shielded my face so not to scare the kiddos. :-) TOO ITCHY!
