Daily Notes- December 20

 My Christmas Tree.  All dressed up.   I had a bit of a hiccup getting the image into the post this morning. It had become so easy and for some reason- this morning- it was not.  Perhaps they moved things? Perhaps I am losing brain cells?

My rash was very very angry when I woke up yesterday.  Applied lots of Calamine.  And at about 1 pm I noticed it was completely gone.  I was shocked.  Really shocked.  Kept waiting all day for it to come back. But nothing.  And then about 9 pm- it started up again.  I had eaten a Larabar- Coconut Chocolate Chip. I don't know if that was the trigger but.......today it's plain oatmeal and later steamed white rice.  Tea. I would add bananas to the list but bananas give me really terrible acid reflux. I have plain yogurt but it's so cold- makes me feel cold.  The oatmeal and rice can be eaten hot.  Oh, and I did have the last of the vegetable soup.  Could a person get a rash from soup????

 And now I am dressed- still pajama pants and haven't eaten anything yet.  I don't trust myself to put on real pants.

This reminds me of the Christmas when I had a really irritated nerve that ran from my neck, through to the right shoulder into my right hip.  The heating pad and the couch. It didn't hurt (that much) when I was standing- so I cooked and baked as usual.  I just couldn't sit at the table to eat.  The mysterious red rash is much better.  Well, there is no nerve pain.  Which is like being electrocuted unexpectedly.

I worked on two more potholders.  They are looking very nice. I picked an excellent backing color. I am quite good with color but most times- I stop looking when I find something that looks good- and this time I kept looking.  So- I learned a lesson not to be happy with the first good choice.  Keep looking.

My Word for today- Investigate.  I am going to do a search on rashes.
