WHY!?
Ok, this is completely beyond any realm of comprehension. I had the worst night last night — if I wasn’t sneezing in rapid fire succession for 15 minutes (the U.S. military could militarize my skills, I tell you!), I was running for more Kleenex because my nose has turned into Niagara Falls. On top of that, my headache’s back and I swear to God I haven’t tasted, smelled or heard anything properly in over 2 weeks now. I used to take loads of prescription allergy medications, including allergy shots, when I was growing up. Every allergic reaction would trigger an asthma attack, which made growing up in South Texas none-too-pleasant much of the time. Still, it’s times like these I wonder just how much worse (or better?!) I’d be if I hadn’t done all that back then. You’d think my immune system would have learned a thing or two, but I’m not seeing evidence of that.
It’s also following no understandable pattern. I mowed our front and backyard lawns and spent a lot of time outside on Sunday. Result? No allergies to speak of (other than my usual 1-3 sneezes once a day). Suddenly, come Monday and Tuesday, I’m back to being the walking dead. 
None of the OTC meds seem to help, except to knock me out into a Benadryl fog when I desperately need sleep. Even then, I didn’t go to “bed” until 6:15 AM this morning, waking up at 11:45 AM pissed and still feeling like crud.
God, enough with the fun and games, ‘k? I know I’m not your star pupil, but surely there are more important matters to attend to than amping up my allergies!
Oh, and thanks for making the pollen count go into the HIGH range on Thursday. I can’t wait to see how that affects me!
{end of rant… for now!}
