Weather Channel, Here I Come

I should have considered a degree in Meteorology.
But they probably wouldn't have let me graduate from weather-person school.
Weather people are like news people... They have to appear unbiased. They have to act like whatever weather they are reporting is the best weather.
Not me, friends.

"Here in our area today, we are having our 84th day of 90+ degree heat.

And that STINKS. It's hot, and I am tired of being hot.
Back to you, Bob."

And that's why I would be a weather-school flunkie.

And in family news...
The appointment with the new Allergist last week was very exciting.

Warning: The following photographs are of a medical nature and may be disturbing to some viewers. There's also a little back nudity.

The doc divided the boy's back into 6 areas, labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Each section was injected with 10 known allergens... 60 total.
By the time they injected Section F, Section A already had hives. Good times.







In summary, he reacted to 52 of the 60 injections... Most of them pretty severely.
He's allergic to every grass, every tree, every weed, every mold, and feathers. But no foods.
I knew he had some allergies that had changed, but this momma was not prepared for that news.
So the doc wants us to think about the future... Do we continue with his regular medications? Or do we take the path of shots? Every week. For who knows how long?

This boy has a way of testing my faith. And my sanity.
But I sure do love him. And his red, itchy, hive-covered back.
They gave him meds at the office so he could make it home, and then we stopped for a Blizzard.

Thank the Good Lord no one is allergic to ice cream in this family.
Now a hot weather allergy? That's a whole different story.
