It’s past 1 AM. Am I that dedicated to this blog? Nah. My face itches, my heart is beating a little bit too fast and my thoughts are racing. Ugh.

I arrived at my grandparents’ towards the tail end of the meal to avoid fumes. But the scented candles were no bueno. It was good to see my cousin and his new bride in from out of town (I missed their wedding). But my body just won’t calm down.

It probably didn’t help that I just ate some cookies with extra cashew butter, which is high in histamine but I figured, it’s a holiday. And besides– if I pass out I’m going to bed anyway. Oh, Immune System, you joker. Keep me up before a day off so you can keep me from waking up when I have to be somewhere.
