Oddities and such

I had a busy weekend but it was a good one.  Friday wasn’t all that fun though, I had to get allergy testing done.  I’ve mentioned recently, that I’m really struggling with asthma. Its scary and I really need to get it under control so I looked up an asthma and allergy specialist.  I really like the Dr and he’s nice. Come to find out, I’m allergic to grass, trees, pollen, weeds and the main one is dust.  The good news is that I’m not allergic to dogs which I was pretty nervous about since both of ours sleep in bed with us. LOL

43 needle pricks

3 hours later still itchy

It sucks!!! I have never had asthma until 8 years ago and I used to live outside as a kid growing up.  I have a consultation in a few weeks to see what avenue I’ll be taking such as shots, nose drops, etc.   So that was a good time!!  My arms still have little tiny bruises down my arm today.  I also am not sleeping well because the inhaler that I have to do every night is keeping me awake.  Yay.

Saturday, my cousin Monya and I went downtown Dallas to Fair Park to enter a very different show. Its called Oddities and Curiosities and it was great!!  It was bigger than I thought it would be and it got crowded.  There was a lot of very interesting booths there and some great artists.  Lots of taxidermy and skulls of insects, rodents, and large animals which got a little boring after a while. I bought some candles that had pretty pictures, we both got t-shirts of the event, I got a bracelet and some pretty crystals and a few funny stickers.  I have a thing of doll head planters. I have lots of them around my house that have cactus plants in them.  So what was funny, my cousin said that the event looks like my house. I laughed and took it as a compliment. Haha!  Apparently, doll heads inspire many others. There were lots and lots of creations with doll parts. One booth took stuffed animals and replaced their faces with crazy scary faces.  So funny!  There was a display from Ripley's Believe it or not that houses a show in their building a few towns over. The show isn’t for everyone and many of the booths didn’t appeal to me but most of them did.  It was very fun and some talented artists were there. 

  Later on that day, I got to spend 2 hours at the hospital to visit my friend who was in the car wreck. She’s improving a little each day but she has a long road. She very much is a brain injury patient with limited memory. It was so good to see her because she’s alive!!!               

Sunday, I joined a friend in Canton the huge flea market and it was a fun day. I got some vintage purses, some Harley floor mats and some plants.  Afterwards, I picked up my Mom who was staying with my uncle to assist him after his knee surgery. It was nice that she could help him out and they got to spend some good time together.   Now, I’m looking forward to hanging out with her.  When Nanny passed, Mom rearranged her outgoing flight because she had already just bought her ticket to fly in this month.  My niece is graduating high school next month so after that, mom will go home back to Montana.

I have one week to get final touches done for my junk show and the gala for Refuge for Women. I'm on the run now!
