Keep walking, I'm breathing
I did not get sheep-dipped in Benadryl, but I am full of antihistamines and eating a pumpernickel bagel with chopped liver and a coconut-milk milkshake.
I have not become allergic to my cats. My long-time allergies to dust mites have worsened to the point where the mitigation strategies in which I already engage are not cutting it, so I have some further suggestions, an alteration to my medications, and we go from here. I also seem to have become allergic to pigweed, which I had never even heard of until I looked it up, at which point it turned out to be amaranth which I have both eaten and admired as an ornamental plant. I am decorated with surgical marker and punctures. I had been scratch-tested before, but never intradermally injected.
The fog at dawn was an astonishing suffusion of gold, glinting like rainbows around the Prudential. Afterward I took a couple of pictures from MGH and the Longfellow Bridge. I believe my plans for the afternoon involve a nap.

that's too bad about the amaranth! Too bad in general that your immune system wants to pick fights with so much in the environment. But a relief that it's not the cats.

Thank you. If I had to be awake before the sun came up, at least it was beautiful to see.

My mother pointed out that if the cats had been an allergen, I would have been more physically troubled than emotionally soothed by Autolycus curling himself up on my chest on nights I couldn't sleep. But since they were the major unknown factor among potential allergens of my daily life, I am still reassured. *hugs*
