angharad_gam...as my body gradually becomes allergic to all the things: raw onion.
It seems that eating it now gives me a horrible stomach ache. This conclusion is, admittedly, only based on a small number of observations, but frankly I'm too busy at the moment to risk time spent lying around clutching my stomach. It's quite possibly not an allergy - I don't swell up when I'm chopping them, and many people are intolerant of onions and other members of the allium family. On the other hand, there's a chance it is related to the sulphur allergy I already have. Right now I am hoping it remains an issue with raw onions only. A life without sautéed onions and garlic is not to be contemplated.
In other news, Liam spent two nights this week with insomnia (which meant that Andy and I got to have insomnia too). The problem was exacerbated by Erin telling him that if you don't get enough sleep you can die, which only made him worried about what would happen if he didn't sleep, which lead to further sleeplessness...
On the house front all is proceeding as it should (one or two minor glitches but nothing serious), and we are all systems go for moving in on the 31st. It's still completely surreal to think that in less than two weeks we will be living in a different house. We have been here for almost nine years now, which is the longest we have lived anywhere together, and the longest I have lived anywhere ever (Andy had a rather more stable childhood than I did).
