Isabella's Project Diary

I probably should start with saying that my corn allergy -unlike my Tomato or my Buckwheat allergy- is mild. I won't swell up and end up in the ER. If I have say a regular coke cola (corn syrup) I'll probably just end up with "tummy issues" for a couple of hours. In order to avoid that, I've been avoiding corn. The interesting thing is that even my Dad has recognized how much healthier (ie, I'm not sick all the time!) I've gotten since I've been avoiding corn. I haven't lost weight, I've just been not eating anything with corn. ( More on corn and it's evilness )

I went to work this morning and decided around 10 or so I wanted one of those peanut candy bars. You know the type with just peanuts and caramel that are little more than peanut brittle? i got one, brought it back to the dark corner of the dungeon that is my cubicle (I haz a dragon evn!) and, of course, ate it. That was the problem.
( Why I might start just keeping snacks at my desk and save my money that way )

But, yeah, allergies are NOT fun. I think my head is together enough now that I can go to the grocery store and grab a couple of things. (It's down the street. I need food!) My lips are still a bit numb but I can breathe and I have that weird dry throat thing going on that always happens after a decent sized allergic reaction. (basically, it means the worst part of it is over and I'll be downing ginger ale all night after I go to the store to get some.)
