And boy have I been tired. I didn't sleep well last night and I don't know why. It wasn't because I wasn't tired. I felt like I napped through the night in half hour peices instead of really sleeping. Since the hives thing was an issue last year, thought it important to make a note of it. All I want to do is find a tree somewhere and rub up and down against it like an animal! Itching can make you crazy!
