Hanna is no longer a threat to SW Florida

We are out of Hanna's cone of uncertainty! The presumed trajectory is for north Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas to watch out!
But Ike is now a hurricane and looks like we may have him in our radar by this coming Tuesday.

Anyway, in other news, Governor Sarah Palin, Republican Presumptive VP nominee will be speaking tonight.
I would hope that I will be able to stay awake.
One never knows does one?

All day I have been a bit under the weather.
Yesterday, when I got out of the pool I noticed an itchy rash brewing on either forearm, which looks like a mass of mini insect bites.
At first I though it might be rubbing from bathing suit along with the high Chlorine we keep in the pool due to all the rain.
This time instead of rushing to the phone to speak to a nurse who would just tell me to see the doctor I waited until we got the grocery for our normal shopping and I then asked the pharmacist about it.
No answer was given about what it could be, but I was told my assumption to take Benedryl was correct. The pharmacist also said to use cortisone cream, which I thought we still had at home, and we did. I did take the Benedryl and it made me sleepy enough to take an hour nap.
I suppose the 2 pill initial dose of Benedryl that I took at 1:30 P.M. is still working on me causing an unfortunate drowsy feeling. I did take the adult dose, and with this weight on me I don't think this should have had such an ill effect, but I am so tired right now I feel like I could go right back to bed.
When I was a skinny bilink I was very easily overdosed by adult recommended dosages even as an adult.
That is extremely important for parents to remember with children medicine works by weight, not just age.

I think I will say good night to all now...and maybe try somehow to wake myself up to see the convention later on.
In reality I would like to be very well informed before I make that final decision on November 4th.
