Hay Hay Hay

実りの秋ですが、数年前からりんご、なし、サクランボ、プラム、桃などがたべられなくなりました… アレルギー反応出ちゃって、喉や唇がかゆくなっちゃう!

ケンタッキー自然豊かすぎ&牧場だらけで、どうやら草によるアレルギー性鼻炎になってしまい、そのため春に限らず秋もテッシュが欠かせません泣き顔 

この草アレルギー性鼻炎(hay fever)になると、りんごなどに含まれるタンパク質を花粉と勘違いしちゃって喉や唇がかゆくなるらしいんだよねー。

食べるの大好きな私にとってはかなり辛いです 
どこか花粉のない土地はないかねー。どうやらとうとうビージェイまで花粉症になってしまったみたいー ...ツラっ

Now it's October, the weather is nice, not too hot, not too cold. But I haven't been able to go anywhere without tissues and allergy medicines!

Yup. It's that time of year for me who still lives in KY—hay fever. Since there are tons of horse parks and farms everywhere, it seems like that I have developed the hay fever. Not only that now I cannot eat certain fruits such apples, plums, cherries, peaches and pears. This sucks so bad since I love these fruits! Whenever I eat them, my throat and lips itch and and swallow.

According to Wiki, the condition I got is called "Oral allergy syndrome" and it's not exactly an allergic reaction to these fruits. What happens is that my "immune system mistakes the food proteins for the pollen proteins and causes an allergic reaction."

YIKES!!!

Unfortunately this year, Beejay finally got allergy. It's most likely the hay fever too... His sinus has been bothering him, but the symptom got much better after taking an allergy medicine.

We need to move somewhere that there is no allergen if there is a such place!!

treats


Beejay has been into baking scones lately. Lucky me!

The last time he baked yummy cranberry scones around 11pm on Sunday night just because he almost forgot to make them even though he promised me of them. (I didn't make him to bake at 11pm though!) How nice of him!!

It's going to be chocolate chip scones next time. yay! Who knows... Maybe in the future we might open a scone store... and I guess I will be overweight eating them too much. arghhhhh〜

*******************************

ビージェイが最近スコーン作りにハマっていて、前回はクランベリースコーンを日曜日の夜11時に!私に約束してたの忘れてて悪い気がしたらしい。なんてやさしい〜

次回はチョコチップスコーンだって。やったね。将来、スコーン屋さんなんて開いてたりして。そしたらスコーン食べ過ぎで私でぶってそう… ああぁ〜〜!!

first time





二ヶ月ほど遅れてのポストですが、生まれて初めて参加した地元Lexinton Ad Clubのデザインコンペ(ADDY)で賞をもらいました〜。嬉 

提出した3作品ともなんらかの賞をもらい驚き!そのうちの1作品は「審査員賞」を!(写真)
地元のコンペとはいえ、初めて自分の作品を認めてもらえなんかほっとしたかも。普段自信なさすぎだからね・・・

で、先週更に良い知らせが。地域のADDY(ケンタッキー、ウエスト・バージニア、オハイオー)で銀賞を貰ったとか??

************************************************

This news is about 2 months late: for the first time ever, my work has received awards at the local-level ADDY, an annual advertising competition, held by the Lexington Ad Club.

All three entries got something (2 Golds and 1 Silver), and one of them got the Judges' Choice Award. Even though it was just a local competition, I was relived to earn some kind of recognition for my design since I'm not so confident.

Then I got better news last week. Supposedly the work for UVa C.A.R.E received the Silver at the district-level ADDY (KY, WV, and OH)!?

wow.
