Well, as most of you know, I am going back to school. Before I could do that, though, I had to take the stupid ACT again. Well, I took it Saturday. Whew I am glad that is over. On the plus side, I finally learned algebra. On the down side, It wasn't on the frickin test. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Thankfully there was a Halloween Party to go to Saturday night. I got to dress up and get my mind off of the test. I was Lucille Ball and Jr was the tennis player guy from The Royal Tennenbaums. Well, by the end of the night we decided he was Chico the illegitimate son of Royal and the maid. Here are a few pics, courtesy of Elizabeth.

Well, this is how I felt Friday. I went to get tested for allergies. I've always know I have allergies. I've always sneezed and my eyes have always gotten itchy around cats. Lately, another symptom has reared its ugly head. I wheeze and gasp for air when I start having an allergic reaction. It doesn't help matters that we have a cat and live in a little carpet covered apt. Anyway, it was driving Jr and I crazy. It started happening every night. So, I finally decided to do something about it.

I went to an allergy specialist. They had me blow into a plastic tube as hard as I could to find out if I have asthma. They said the test didn't say I did and it didn't say I didn't. Well, that's helpful. Next, they had me lie on my stomach. They pricked me all over my back. The first one they did started itching immediately. It was pretty miserable because they left me there to itch and not be able to scratch for twenty minutes. Turns out that one was cat. I thought we were done, but they did eight more on my arm and left those for fifteen minutes. Geez, well turns out I am allergic to cats, dogs, dust mites, cockroaches, horses, trees, and weeds. Since almost everything I am allergic to surrounds me all the time, they are going to start giving me shots to take away my allergies. In the mean time I am on a butt-load of medicine. Sounds like fun, huh?
