Raised from the dead!

So the hotel has free internet access. So far the only major details of the trip are:

1. Southwest Airlines sucks balls. Who the fuck still serves peanuts on planes?! Four hours of recirculated air full of peanut dust = thanks for the (minor) allergic reaction and ensuing panic attack, asswipes.
1a. Dear airport security: those liquids I'm trying to bring on board are allergy meds. No, I cannot put them in my checked luggage. Yes, I need to have them on me. Why? See #1.
1b. P.S. Thanks for searching my luggage. I feel so much better arriving in San Antonio after that nightmare flight to find that all my clothes have been unfolded and stuffed back into my suitcase in wads.

2. San Antonio isn't a city. It's a giant, sprawling network of strip malls. Really sleazy ones.

3. My relations make me fear for what I'll be like once I hit eighty.

4. Some random fat guy twice my age was hitting on me at the hotel pool ew ew ewwww. This is doubly creepy because I spent most of today being informed by my grandmother that I look thirteen years old.

5. On the other hand, the weather's really nice.

Aw, that sucks! I think last time I flew Southwest they didn't have peanuts.

Enjoy the weather!

A little thing is going in the mail for you tomorrow. It should be there to greet you when you get back. :-)

:D Thank youuu.

Southwest will apparently refrain from serving peanuts on flights that have people with allergies, but only if you contact them when you make your reservation. Which we made a month ago, online, before we knew that they hadn't joined the general trend of serving little bags of pretzels or trail mix or whatever instead of peanuts. So much hate.

Ack, you poor thing. I hope the rest of your trip is better.

... oh wow, that's awful. Ick. What kind of liquids were they? I have a snazzy doctor's note that says "Yep, she does need those shots unless you want to risk her dying on your plane". Maybe not verbatim.

I carry an Epi-pen and at least two ounces of Benadryl in my purse. Epi-pen to save my ass, Benadryl to bring the symptoms down. XD I think security thought I was trying to bring the Benadryl so I could fall asleep on the plane or something.

What's Benadryl? My AnaPens are the only liquids I have, then lots of funny pills. Like the cortison ones you have to dissolve in water. 15 of them! Crazy.

Benadryl's an anti-histamine.

Wow, what part of San Antonio are you in? If you think it's bad for sprawl, you should see Dallas or Houston. San Antonio is about as good as it gets in Texas. I recommend going to the area of town with the Mad Hatters Cafe or the Quadrangle if you're getting stressed out by the layout. You can have good vegetarian food and then go pet some deer.

Oh, ouch. That's gotta suck. I remember airport security confiscated my acne medication and my lip gloss, and I'm still not sure why.

Pink lip gloss is not particularly threatening, but you'd think that they'd know that someone with allergy medication needs to keep it with them. Airport security people have... odd ideas on that sort of thing.

Hope the trip gets better!
