A chemical reaction?

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well during this busy Christmas season. I wanted to quickly address something and see if any of you have some feedback.

Yesterday I felt my face heat up and when I went to the mirror, my whole face was beet red and I watched it slowly spread down my arms, trunk, and legs. It was the weirdest thing. Thinking I was having an allergic reaction, I took some Children's Benadryl and it slowly went away. I have NEVER had a reaction like that. Do you all think it was something I ate or possibly from the chemicals we have used cleaning Mark's work office recently? I'm thinking it's the chemicals since we don't usually do this job. The people who normally do it are on vacation so we took it over for the week. I emailed my nutritionist and am awaiting a reply...

Now that the Christmas cards are mailed and our shopping is done, hopefully I will have a little time to research this on my own.

I have some good news to share and that is my mom's transition to a care facility has gone smoothly. According to the reports I've received from my brother & sister, she is surrounded by loving caregivers. The facility itself is really nice and they do a lot of activities with the residents. Even in her current physical and mental state, I can't wait to see her again. I miss her.

That's all the news I have for now. Please stay safe during this very busy season.
Debbie

P.S. The Christmas party was great fun as usual. I'll attempt to get a picture on here soon.
