So...okay, I have not had the greatest 2015. It's true. The year started out with my having to have minor surgery, then there was the construction in my house that led to a severe case of asthmatic bronchitis which led to just plain asthma. I've had this cough for MONTHS now and just when it was starting to calm down, I noticed something - it gets worse with certain foods.
But wait...not just ANY certain foods, but some of my FAVORITE certain foods.
Like chocolate.
I don't even know if I can go on. I mean...chocolate. CHOCOLATE!! How in the world am I supposed to move forward in my life if I am allergic to chocolate??? It's like...one of my main food groups!!
I'm seriously distressed right now.
See these cupcakes? This is what my editor sent me when I was stressed about deadlines. They were amazing!! I did share them with my husband and son - I let them have one. They had to share it. LOL!! They were mine!! I was the one who was doing all the work and stressing out! That seemed fair, right??? If I ate one of those now? I'd cough for and hour and feel like my airway was closing.
It doesn't seem right. It doesn't seem fair. How am I supposed to get through edits? Or fights with my husband? Or days ending in "y"??? I don't know. Maybe I have a problem. Not the allergy, but the addiction. Although, if you think about it, chocolate is fairly harmless. If you have to be addicted to something, chocolate is pretty tame.
Sigh.
Breathing is highly over-rated.
The title caught my eye. I always thought that the universe was telling me something as well. I have an upside down heart on the side of my left bicep. Turns out I was right! Lol. Thank God for romance novels or I would be clueless and desperate!
