Dream: Super Fire Extinguisher!

My computer (a desktop) caught on fire. I started freaking out and panicking, but luckily, someone took a fire extinguisher and put it out before it got out of control. Whew! And I thought to myself, ‘Oh yeah, I could use the fire extinguisher to put out fires!’

A little while later, I was sitting by a window in our house (the one next to Peach’s catpost), when a small fire started. I took this moment to be heroic and grabbed a nearby spray bottle that I thought would contain fire extinguisher chemical. I sprayed it on the fire, but it was so powerful that it punched holes in the mini-blinds. Then I noticed that the label (there’s a label? O_o) said that whatever was in the bottle wasn’t used to put out fires.

Church

Ever since our church moved, we’ve misplaced a couple items: the Children’s Ministry computer (used for audio/visual purposes during Sunday services) and an entire stack of blank CDs. A few days after settling in, my mom sent both Lorin and myself into the warehouse to find the CDs (for sermon recordings) and some windowed envelopes. I found the envelopes all right (along with some old envelopes from 13/14 years ago—the days when our church only had partial occupancy of the previous building O_o), but no CDs.

Just today, two staff members dug around in the warehouse and found the CDs. They were buried in a huge pile of boxes somewhere (the warehouse is like our garage, see. We’re storing anything in it that we can’t find a place for, since we don’t have complete occupancy of the building yet and therefore, not enough to put everything).

No computer yet. At the moment (I do tech for the Children’s Ministry on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month), we can only use a laptop to project the lyrics for the kids. And when we want to play audio? We have to use an iPod. One of the staff thinks it might be in the room that will become the tech room in the warehouse. It’s full of boxes and sound equipment at the moment, so they think the computer might have been put there.

Also, the owner of the building we’re leasing had lines painted in the parking lot for the individual parking spaces. Before, there were lines, but they were so faint and you could barely see them. If you were to drive up, you would basically have to use your imagination when picking a spot to park in. :3

Food Allergies

My mom checked the salt she uses for cooking and noticed that it’s not iodized salt. BUT that doesn’t mean that the store-bought food we eat doesn’t have iodine in it.

But Mom and Dad started to think that maybe it was in the multigrain bread I used for egg in a basket the other day. So next morning, I was to eat the bread and ooonly the bread. >8D (Oh yeah, I did have a small reaction at around 1 that afternoon—breakfast was at nine). I also had a nice foot long Subway sandwich for lunch. :3 (It was on wheat bread, aaaand I actually forgot if I had a reaction after that.) So maybe it’s just the oil found in food (Hot Pockets have plenty of that).

Then during dinner, my mom concluded that I’m not allergic to soy lecithin (or soy in general), since my throat didn’t become itchy from the soy sauce we had with salmon. She suggested that it could be the barley in the wheat bread (which, she said is easy, just don’t buy bread with barley). I could kind of see that since the Hot Pockets that gave me breathing problems* has barley apparently.

*I’m not exactly sure what’s going on in there when this happens. I don’t know if my throat actually closes up or if that…flappy thing is swelling up. So I’ll just say it’s giving me breathing problems. Umm…yeah.
