The call it Orange peril …

Pizza day…

Sunday as you may or indeed may not know, is mine and Jesse’s pizza day, these we make ourselves, three reasons why really, :1: it’s cheaper that way by far, 2: I can buy wheatfree bases, Jesse has he’s low carb cauliflower bases, :3: is and here’s the vital reason they taste so blooming good, I’m not just blowing my own wind section here folks, home made really is the best your ever going eat, there’s no oozing slimeball grease slick, like take out pizzas , plus it’s beautifully hot, straight from your oven, and you can add any topping you fancy, and believe me we do 😁,.

I hadn’t eaten anything at all during the day, I like to save myself for the main event, (by afternoon I’m counting down the minutes until 9pm finally shows itself,. by then my stomachs passed the rumbling stage, it’s now making enough noise to disturb even this sleepy little hamlet…

It never takes us long to prepare though, thank goodness, it cooks in roughly 12 minutes in my air fryer oven, while I wait I decide to have a beaker of icy cold Raspberry lemonade, I rarely buy anything other than carbonated water these days because I’m very allergic to artificial sweeteners, it does all kinds of lovely things to my stomach😳😁(mostly not quite so lovely though), even with just that one mouthful, so I avoid it at costs, but this was all (orgasmic😁) and supposed natural, but still i had read the list of ingredients before taking the final plunge, it was to all intention purposes absolutely fine.

ohhhh let me tell you about my sippy cup first😁, The other week while out picking up my prescription, myself and my friend Debbie had a juice drink at the local Costa coffee,,(rarely treat ourselves, but this time was one of those) My drink came in a very sturdy lidded plastic beaker, with that piece missing just perfect for sipping your cold drink, I was so impressed with my what I now call, “an adult sippy cup”, that I bought it home, to reuse…and I surely do, Anyhow I’m wandering off topic again something im won’t to do, sorry!😁.

Last night half filling my sippy cup with ice cubes, I then poured this insipid pink coloured fizzy drink over the top(I hate pink by the way). In fairness though it did indeed smell rather nice, being somewhat thirsty I gulped half of it down before I even stopped to actually taste it😁,(plus avoiding its pinkness), by this time the timer on my oven rang out at last, and my pizza was cooked, rushing out to get It,(priorities here folks) (and thank goodness I did), by the time I had walked back in with my food, I began having these very odd visual disturbances, I could only make out half of everything I was looking at, the other half just melted into darkness, I knew all at once what had occurred,. Even now my vision was treating my eyes like an over zealous fire work display complete with a myriad of coloured wavy glow in the dark lines. the kind sparklers leave behind in the dark.

This normally lasts anything from 30 minutes to an hour, it is now if I have any sense at all left in my aching brain box, and can indeed could stop shoving pizza in my mouth long enough, I would normally grab any available pain killer to hand and manage to stave off the worst effects of a full blown migraine…it’s been a number of years since my last one, as I have sourced most of my triggers. An hour later and the weird light effects have stopped and I could once again make out Jesse’s face upon my phone screen, I had already by this time begun to feel quite unwell, so didnt like the added anxiety of not being able to see him, it’s bad enough having to feel my way around my home, but I managed that with some persistence, but seeing Jesse is always a big comfort, one I’ve grown very accustomed to over the years, (plus here’s a secret don’t tell him though, I quite like his face 😁.

By 10:30 that evening all around my neck is tender and stiff, my nose decides to play silly beggars setting off a spectacular sneezing fit that feels not unlike its shaking my brain loose from its moorings, sending pain throughout each and every blast. . This migraine was fast becoming a reading off the ricter scale, I knew at once what had triggered it though, . See in all drinks even though most of the ingredients are listed, naturally sourced flavours don’t have to be, natural flavour like ORANGE juice!!!, I’m allergic to even a sip of (agent orange, not only do I get violent migraines, but it does other violent things too…. Only to my stomach…very much so, 😳.(told you pink was evil!)😁

So not only have I spent most of Monday nursing a thumping head,(if someone has any notion on how to turn down the London Philharmonic orchestra from oh hell no loudness, to screaming loudness,then I would appreciate it greatly, same goes for the national guard marching around in there…, But add to this my running the Olympics back and forth to the bathroom darlings, then you get the kind of day im having…

Really wish the added free gifts of extra ingredients could be listed or omitted by manufactures, would make life a wee bit less dramatic for strange folks like myself with add ons, (allergies)….Well there is one upside to this whole debacle if you can in fact call it that, I’ve barely eaten today so I’ve saved a fortune in calories and food 😁…Stay well folks and take care of yourselves ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
