@rms924 it has been ~12 hours and no improvement. If anything honestly it looks a little worse. @lillywonderland@duewithpu2 so there is a bite in the middle of her eyebrows - but it isn’t red or swollen? Which seems weird if it would be causing such a reaction but not reacting at the site itself. Apparently our town sprayed our neighborhood overnight for mosquitos, I got a ‘your spray is complete’ email this morning - and we had our window AC in and on all night, so I wonder if she isn’t having a reaction to the chemical. But still, WTF! It just seems so weird to me.
@kiddiesandkitties Do you know what chemical they used? Did they ever tell you? Odds are it was an active ingredient diluted in some kind of solvent. There’s a chance she could be allergic to either - more likely it’s the solvent because that’s going to be in a greater concentration. Does she have any other allergies? The bite seems suspect, but I agree it’s weird there isn’t more of a reaction there.
@kiddiesandkitties oh no!! I have no idea but would she sit in an epsom salt bath? That would be a super gentle detox if it was the spray. Wouldn't hurt anything.
We had DS’s second birthday yesterday and took him to his first Amusement Park inside the Mall of America. He loved it! We also got a pair of baby crocs for him for the summer. This age is just so fun!!

I’m at work and the ER ordered a leg ultrasound 2 hours ago and they haven’t called yet to tell me the patient is ready. So I’ve just been sitting here waiting. At least I didn’t wait to eat lunch when I saw it ordered. I would be annoyed and hungry then.
I totally just gave some people wrong directions and I feel so bad about it. The worse part is, I realized a second or 2 after I said it that it was wrong and I could have corrected myself. Instead, I walk away from them as fast as I could! Oh the guilt!!!

@lillywonderland I HATE the train!!! They are never on time. I unfortunately don't have a direct route home so I have to take the train for a couple stops then get on my bus. I hate it when the train is late and makes me miss my connection! I feel your pain.

@lillywonderland@LJMoon6 part of me thinks I'd love to be able to take public transit to work, then I think about stuff like normal delays and being close to other people and my hands start to clench and I know I'd never be able to handle it... But, driving suuucks.
I just went to Walgreens to pick up a prescription and get some Chapstick and chewy Tums. After wandering around the snack aisle for far too long, I got my pills and checked out. Just got back to my office and realized I forgot both the Chapstick and the Tums. I miss my brain.
@lillywonderland ugh that's why I hate public transportation-- you're at mercy to the whim of any delays! DH's train line was all messed up this morning due to maintenance or something. He called me from the platform asking if I could come pick him up and drive him. We got stuck in awful rush hour traffic .
I want to bake something today, but I don't know what. I have an urge for something sweet and want to make it myself. Anyone have any suggestions/recipes to share?
@nomangos23 If we lived in Switzerland all our trains would be on time! 😂 Our commuter train has the least amount of priority on the tracks - Freighters and Amtrak are higher up, so they’re more likely to be on time.
@LJMoon6 Preach!! When everything runs smoothly it’s awesome. When it doesn’t it sucks hardcore! I’m lucky I don’t really have any connections. Every now and then the bus that I take in the AM leaves us (or they don’t have a driver for it) so I have to walk the 1.5 miles to my site. Not too bad, but damn man it is getting hot out here!
@redbreast35 Lol. So are you going back to Walgreens? 😜
@themadcamel narrow down your sweet tooth for me and I may be able to help with recipe suggestions... are you wanting fruity-sweet, chocolate-sweet, caramel-sweet? Soft and chewy? Crunchy? Frosting? I love cooking and baking!
@themadcamel A coworker brought in a chocolate Texas sheet cake in a skillet and I'm currently having a moment. You should definitely make one of those.
@themadcamel Soooo, our friend @elle-0409 made these blackberry oatmeal cookies (hello! Yes, I stalk you still! 😘) and I just saved it to my Pinterest page. I’m thinking of making them this weekend for Father’s Day. Mmm.
My kid is running around outside with the neighbor boy. I don’t even care. It’s quiet in my house. Though I need to get him to get ready for T Ball. I foresee a fight.
@zuuls_mom I was wondering where you and @duewithpu2 were today!! Sorry you were stuck in a boring training but yay for getting out early!! @themadcamel my vote is forever chocolate chip cookies. Nothing is better than fresh out of the oven cookies ::droooool::
@sunshine2417 I’m honestly game for anything! I like to try new things! @lillywonderland pinned! I’m so going to make those tomorrow for DH’s birthday. He loves cookies. @cammie0526@ternsetc never heard of a Texas sheet cake until now, but it’s certainly on my list after googling it!
I fell asleep and then completely forgot I had asked all of you for recipes 😂. I ended up making a lemon tart. https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/wprm_print/77288 I’ll post a picture in the food thread after it’s finished setting.
@lillywonderland Yay, stalking!!! I found another Pinterest recipe for similar cookies that are made without eggs or flour. I'll try them next and let you know how they turn out.
