(no subject)

Turns out that the puffy face I had yesterday, despite being only mildly uncomfortable, was a possibly life-threatening allergic reaction. To, most likely, the paracetamol in the cold and flu drugs I had taken the previous day to deal with having a cold.

So I'm now on daily antihistamines for the next couple of weeks, and I'm not allowed to have dairy for a few days (dairy being something I used to be sensitive to) and I should probably avoid handling clothes in shops as well (some new clothes make my hands itch).

No icecream, chocolate, cheese, cream, or coffee for me *sigh*... even my other favourite comfort food, mashed spud, is out, because I usually do that with quite a bit of milk and butter.

On the bright side, I'll probably only have this cold for another couple of days.
