Christmas late for us

We had to push our holiday down the calendar a bit. Louie got an allergic
reaction of pure evil from some Chinese food my boss provided for the holiday
party, which neither of us knew had shrimp. Unlike our seafood-loving cats
(four of them anyway: Sabrina is allergic to seafood but it just gives her
itchies) Louie can't handle it. We had to take him to the doctor. He got some
good anithistamines and he's breathing now, but our Christmas was kind of put
into a temporary toilet. At least we managed to get our cards out. Late, d-mn
me. But I look on the bright side. The Eastern Orthodox will have theirs in
January, so maybe it's not so bad. We will toast the new year sometime early
February. But isn't that Chinese new year anyway?

Chinese New Year is on February 18.

Blessed be,

Just glad that my husband can inhale

That must have been really scary! I'm glad he's okay, now.

I'm glad your husband is okay! That must have been scary. Yikes!

I should think so! That must have been terrifying. I'm glad that he's
OK. Did either of you realize how severe his allergy was? I know that
allergies can get progressively worse, the more exposures you get to
the allergen. It sounds like he came close to anaphylaxis, if it wasn't
actually that. Very dangerous. I guess you'll both have to be a lot
more careful about foods you accept from people who don't know about
Louie's allergy.

Is your religious background Eastern Orthodox?

I'm so sorry to hear that. What a relief Louie is feeling better.
Lots of purrs,
