Sometimes when I get anxious, stressed, or just hot, I get itchy and break out in a mild case of hives. It doesn't usually happen very often and has been happening for several years. So, it's really no big deal now. I can either take benedryl or not, but either way, I just have to wait for it to go away.
With school in full blown session, I've been having more of these episodes. I've been teasing Jack that it's him that I'm allergic to. We went out to lunch with his grandma and I showed her my hives. When she asked what caused it, I told her, "I'm allergic to Jack." : )
The other night when I was getting ready for bed, I got itchy and had a few hives around my knee. I told Jack, "See, I'm just allergic to you." He laughed as usual and then a few minutes later said, "Wait a minute! I haven't even touched you." This whole time he didn't know I was joking and actually thought that maybe he was causing my hives. I felt bad about the miscommunication and we laughed pretty hard.
