I know I haven't been blogging much lately. There's actually a reason for it, in addition to the general busy-ness of life with two under three.

Yesterday was just like any other day. I worked on my blog first thing in the morning while nebulizing my daily dose of glutathione. I made breakfast.

Tomorrow I'm calling a dermatologist.
Today I was supposd to have my MRI. I woke up a bit rashy--not itchy thankfully--so I took the allergist's advice and took half a Singulair. Not surprisingly, I got sleepy. Every darn allergy med out there makes me loopy or sleepy, no matter what they say. So I crashed.
I woke up with not ...
