Never eating garlic again

 I have gotten better about asking for help or even just thinking about it.  One thing I've done: every weekend I buy Ron a BBQ plate from Jack.  It comes loaded with delicious smoked meats, sides, etc.  Ron feasts like a king for days.  I am only out $10.  

Last night he brought the plate and it had mac and cheese, which Ron hates.  I took a bite.  It had garlic, a lot.  But it was good so I ate it.  

A blood test some years ago indicated a garlic allergy but I didn't take it seriously.  It also said I was allergic to crab and I am, I get hives when I eat it.  Which is a shame as I love crab and a good crab cake at Jimmy G's on the beltway in North Houston was a real treat.  

Of course I woke up with a migraine.  A quick note, Ron was great at handling his own needs today.  He used the commode chair without assistance all I had to do was empty.  That was great as I vomited twice and am struggling to hold down some very cold water, my go to when I am queasy.  

I have a nice small bucket I use when I vomit.  I prefer to sit and heave into the bucket, as I hold it in my lap.  I have never been one for kneeling over the toilet.  I had plenty of time to access the bucket before I got sick.  Let's hear it for the bucket.  

Ron uses a bucket as well, the rare times he gets sick.  But it has been a LONG while for him.  I guess that is a testament to my food safety practices.  

Anyway, Ron loved the BBQ and has enough to last him till Monday breakfast.  He slept all day at least while I was up.  

Spotty got into bed with me.  He has a very demanding meow and will come and DEMAND pets.  I find it adorable.  The orange cat group on Facebook says that is common with orange boys, they are just very friendly and dog like.  Spotty is adorable, for sure, he laid on me purring for a while as I pet him and then wandered off.  I haven't seen much of the other cats.  Baby Girl got the door to the garage open so I think a couple of them are out there.

The weather is mild so I opened a few screened windows (not all of them have screens) to get a breeze.  We are getting rain bands from Tropical storm Beta but nothing worrisome.  

I feel somewhat dizzy and tired.  Worn out from the headache.  I may go back to bed for a while.  

I am mildly concerned I need to take 4 mood stabilizers, an anti psychotic, and an antibiotic this evening, I hope I am up for it.
