So I went in for allergy testing today. What fun that is! And my sneaking suspicion was right...I'm allergic to cats. Not only cats, but trees and household dust. Lovely. I'm not exactly Suzy Homemaker, so I'm going to have to step up on the cleaning. The doc also recommended keeping the cats out of the bedroom - HA! As they are the only consistent male relationships I've had for quite some time, they aren't going anywhere. So I'm going to take some meds and contemplate shots. I had no idea that allergy shots were such a commitment! 5 years!!! The first year you have to get them once a week and then it gradually goes down from there.
I hate shots. Not that I know anyone who likes them. Growing up we always had to get tons of shots as we were always going overseas. My mom would tell me we were going shopping at the mall and then magically we would end up at the hospital. Humph! I always made my brother go first and he always did because I'm such a baby. I would cry and cry and cry. I know, everyone is shocked by this revelation.
Just getting tested today was miserable. Not only are they basically setting you up for some reaction but I felt as though I was getting a tattoo. Little pin pricks and needles everywhere! And to think I was thinking about getting a third tattoo! I'm such a wuss.
When I started this blog and sent it out to my friends I really didn't think anyone would actually read it. I started it so I could pretend that I am pithy and witty and because I thought it would be cathartic and save me hundreds on therapy. But apparently I have offended some of my friends by not mentioning their names in previous posts. So as not to offend anyone else, I have many friends. I am very lucky. And in fact saw a number of them last night out for cocktails. But I will say that I was most recently completely and totally shaken by disappointment from someone that I thought was a friend.
FFA and I were friends for 6 years. Throughout that time we've had our share of peaks and valleys like any friends do and I would get frustrated with her over her "flakiness". But I just loved her as she was so much fun to hang out with and we always had a good time. I have no idea what happened to end our friendship. I only know that after repeated attempts to call and text message to no avail, it is clear to me that she no longer values or wants my friendship. I am saddened by this.
So, to the rest of my friends out there, and you know who you are, I love you. Happy now? :)

I did NOT always tell you that we were going to the mall, sometimes it was to McDonalds. :) But I should get bonus points because I never told you that the shots would not hurt, cause they do!
