Yet another allergy...

I guess I'm allergic to latex. The irritating itchiness has increased in the past few days... it's the price to pay for painting our living room - well, along with the hundreds of actual dollars we've been spending. How long does it take to paint a friggin' living room? In our case? Weeks. But in our defense, we've also been painting the hallway, seven doors, a closet, and ALL the trim that goes along with it. We're close to being done with only a second coat of yellow left tonight.

But no more latex gloves for me. The condition of my skin CAN get worse and I'd rather not see how bad it can get. My skin's been peeling like Elmer's glue except, in this case, it really is my skin coming off. But at least it doesn't hurt. So, yeah, add this to my allergies of pollen, grass, trees, cherries, and...uhhh...cats. I hate having allergies 'cause it makes me feel like Bill Pullman from "Sleepless in Seattle". Soon, I'll be buying a humidifier, I won't be able to eat at dinner parties, and I'll be carrying around epinephrine...
