— 2 —   This Week:  The shooting at the Navy Yard was quite scary for those of us who work on a Naval base.  Our base went on high alert and there was a time when we believed it was not an isolated crime.  Several of those killed were from our local area.  A very scary day.  I found myself spending less time on the computer and extra time putting love on my family this week.

 — 7 — Hives:  I broke out in itchy hives both Tuesday and Wednesday evening.  I wasn’t sure if it was from gluten that I accidentally ingested on Monday.  I took Benadryl both nights which helped it subside until the next evening.  So on Thursday, I had a straight-up plain lunch consisting of eggs, bacon and grits.  And I did not break out in hives.  So, I am thinking I have a soy allergy that is exasperated by hormonal fluctuations.  Sigh.  Just call me Dr. Google.

p.s.  what is up with WordPress tonight?  Weird font and craziness. 

God love and bless you!
