yesterday i turned 25. i am now Old. my husband is Old-plus-two.
all in all it was a pretty good birthday. the girls took me out to fondue last thursday, which was brilliant, and pia gave me some gorgeous flowers, "in the tradition of school birthdays" (all girls school, we didnt give presents on birthdays, we gave flowers), hubby let me sleep in ridiculously, and took me out to lunch, dad and sylvia gave me a nice set of chopsticks and what im assuming is a sushi dish set... im sure i'll think of a use for it. my sister gave me a foam head (WOOT!!) and a DVD of marie antoinette, and hubby&critter got me seasons 2-4 of stargate. mum already gave me money a while ago to buy boots, and the leftover has been used to buy some oilpaints, and now i have to find something else to spend $40 on as a birthday present.
the only downside was at lunch yesterday. something my son ate at chillis disagreed with him. we know theres no egg in the cheese sticks, because we asked last time, and he had no reaction then, so maybe there was something in the hotdog he had, but whatever it was, his tongue swelled up in a slightly alarming manner, causing him to move it around oddly - trying to make it feel better i think - and talk very badly.
i am so thankful to God that thats all that happened. a slight tongue swelling. no facial or throat swelling, no rash - his usual reaction to just about anything - no pain, just one side of his tongue swelling to double. but since allergies can get worse with exposure, he sure isnt having a hotdog at chillis again any time soon. pasta next time.
who would have thought a hotdog could cause an allergic reaction? maybe it had chicken or turkey in it.
and if it HAD been worse, we were only about 10minutes - TOPS - from the children's hospital. thankyou God.
