I’m tired.

I’m going to bed.

This stress of hives

(idopathic anaphylaxes)

Keeps a pain in my head.

He walked from the play structure, through the door, down the tiled hall to the trains. I look up and see red on his chin. “Levi come here.” He continues to play. “Levi come here.” He comes. Hives. From March 16th to now, that is 3 counts of hives at daycare. 1 count leading to ER. And 1 very minor count solved by Bendadryl at my mother’s house.

We are epi-pen jr. prepared now. What is this cause? This anxiety is making me very very anxious.

Must charge phone lest we have a recurrence tomorrow. Please no thank you.

Journey Home: Reflections from 10,000 Feet

As I sit on the plane, surrounded by the hum of the engine and the chill of the window, I can’t help but notice the person in front of me repeatedly adjusting their seat, each movement a grating assault on my laptop screen. The journey back to Portland, high above the clouds, prompts reflections on the comforts of home and the complexities of travel.
