my new thermos rocks

the hot cocoa i made around 5pm is still steaming hot. :)

i'm in a hotel in mount laurel, NJ. it's okay, but there's an overwhelming smell of fabric softener or carpet cleaner... and i requested that no fragranced cleaning products be used. :( most places are pretty good about that request. the smell isn't on the sheets, so i don't know what it is. i hope i can sleep without another asthma attack.

traffic on I-95 was horrendous, so i skipped over and took US 40. that was much nicer and probably saved me a lot of time. it was a decent drive and we laughed at the ever-growing number of adult video stores along the way.

we'll be going over to my in-laws' tomorrow. MiL is working, but we'll go out for dinner. i hope it's a place which will accomodate my allergies. most of the restaurants they choose are okay, but this one is a buffet place... i'm worried. i may be starving for dinner. i hate that. people stare at the one person who doesn't eat.

boy just spent an hour watching Tom and Jerry... he giggled like mad the whole time. he's so cute. :)

dammit. my eyes are swelling up and my face is getting flushed.

i wish places didn't use so many toxic chemicals. fragrances are especially unnecessary. it would be nice if i didn't react to so much, but that wouldn't make these chemicals any less toxic.

gah. i might go sleep in the car.

sorry about the evil toxic chemicals :-( My skin is still recovering from some time spent in hotel sheets (presumably washed is such evil chemicals) a couple of weeks ago. I agree that the fragrances are entirely unnecessary--All they do is inhibit my breathing and make my face hurt. Hope your night goes well and you can sleep in the room and not in the car. Good luck on the food thing as well.
