Day 117 goes green

My car turned green today. A very sneezy shade of green. I feel like I need gloves and a mask just to open the door. What's worse, this is the pollen that remained after a sudden downpour. My nose itches just looking at it. I really need to track down local honey as per the suggestion of our reader Amanda! I'm ready to fight allergies any way I can!

Day 111, get out the Claritin

The sunny and warm weather today meant lots of yard work for my dad and other people in the neighborhood. That only means one thing- I'm due for an allergy attack. Every Spring I have at least one day where I am totally incapacitated from allergies. And I haven't had that day yet. Now that my dad mowed the front lawn I see Claritin, teary eyes and lots of tissues in my future...

Day 91 is taking it easy...

March is over... and cue allergy season! Congestion and sinus headaches are things that I never encountered till I moved from Hawaii. I've been out of commission since Thursday trying to get my eyes to stop watering, this stubborn headache to go away and to hopefully (pretty, pretty please) regain the ability to breathe through my nose again. All of these seem like such distant dreams right now. But perhaps with enough tea and sudafed I'll be cured in a day or so!
