computers & allergies
So yesterday morning I woke up and tried turning on my computer to do some homework. It was wet. It wasn’t booting, and it was making an odd sort of grinding noise, and smelled kinda warm.
It is dead.
Samara apparently tired to clean it for me, and soaked it in cleaner, not only on the screen but all over it. My dad hopes he can extract the data off the hard drive, but he is unsure.
I am super angry with her for doing it, and at the same time I am not, She was trying to help, and didn’t realize it would kill it.
Oh well.
I went out and bought anew one. I was upset about how much it cost, and then I realized how fourtuante I am to be able to by a new one, and pay cash for it. Not everyday can I do that.
So I am typing on my new computer. The keys are odd I think, but overall it should be good. Although I amhaving problems getting back into my yahoo account, and getting quicktime to load. Odd right?
I got a call in class today on Sabastian’s allergy test. It went to voice mail, and I checked it on break.
He does in deed have food alergies. Gluten and egg.
Sigh.
I keep thining about all the yummy foods he will never eat.
Sigh.
I keep thinking about how expensive his new diet will be.
Sigh.
I keep thiking about how vigilant I will have to be with his diet. It will change our lifestyles to some degree. Alter how I cook, and where we eat at.
Sigh.
Then I realize it is just a food allergry. I can deal with that. I am an on top of it agressive mom who will make sure no one poisions my child. I realized I can read labels, and if anything I can adapt to it. No problem. I can do this.
Besides if he never eats these foods, how can he miss them? It is better we know now, and not find out in 25 years like my sister.
My only guilty thought is that if he were born vaginally would he not have these allergies? It is eating at me, and perhaps with time it won’t.
I met the new OB she looks like this.
She took my line out, and I like her as much as I can like an ob.
I meet the prospective doula tomorrow. Things seem to be going well right now.
And with that I am off to google egg allergies.
A boy (who is now in college) that my mom used to babysit (and I went to elementary school with his brother) has an egg allergy and she is always posting on Facebook about new things she finds.. like making a cake or cookies without eggs. Egg substitutes, etc. He wasn’t diagnosed until recently, so it started out as seeming like a very big deal… but in time, she has found that it isn’t that hard

for her as the mom. It is a bit difficult for him living on campus and having to eat with a meal plan… but they have learned to adapt. 🙂

Awww..too bad about the computer. Thank goodness you could replace it! Hopefully not everything is lost. Good for you for thinking positive. You’re an awesome mom!

Poor Sabastian, but you’re right… he won’t miss what he has never had. At least he can eat Ches (except the whole wheat ones).
