Allergies have never been a huge problem for me. Growing up I would occasionally have a slight problem, but only if I like rolled in a field of dandelions or something (which I did often as a child). Well apparently that was just in KY or AL because Texas is a whole different story. You know how they say everything is bigger in Texas? Well apparently that includes allergies because I am miserable! Runny nose…and we aren’t talking the occasional need to blow…no I mean faucet on full blast runny…itchy eyes…scratchy throat…and I think I have sneezed a gazillion times today! I have never experienced allergies like this in my life. I have even been wheezing when I run! And no…i’m not THAT out of shape:)
I don’t think I can blame it entirely on Texas….I have been cleaning a house. The folks I work for just moved into a new home, so I am cleaning their old house so they can rent it…the house they lived in for 23 years! I’m pretty sure some of the dust and bugs I cleaned up have been hiding under their furniture all 23 of those years. So needless to say that has not helped matters at all.
Now…here I sit…needing to do “pre-homework” (what the crap is that?!?!?) for a class that starts Tuesday and I have no motivation. I made a trip to CVS and got some meds and puffs plus lotion (they feel so nice!). I also picked up some chocolate milk because the thought of it coating my itchy, burning throat excited me (and it didn’t disappoint).
So here I am…tissue to nose…blogging instead of doing homework. When I don’t feel good I feel like that is a green flag to do what makes me feel better…which is definitely NOT homework! Any advice on how to knock out these allergies??
