Aller**sneeze**gies

April 27th, 2008

Ugh, I love spring for the pretty flowers. But man do I hate the flowers for their pollen. We even had a hard rain last night and today I’m still sneezing up a storm. I had to move the box of tissues from the living room-dinning room-kitchen area to my desk so I wouldn’t be getting up every five minutes. This year seems to have been especially bad. Last year I don’t remember having this many problems, but then again last year we were also in a drought and we actually have had more rain than normal for this year. A quick look at the Weather.com’s pollen count for our area and I see that tree is considered very high today and getting higher for the next three days. Grass is minimal and weed is not active. Well suffice to say that when I had my last allergy test they said my tree allergy was borderline; I’d say that’s changed in the last few years. I guess I’ll be dosing up on extra anti-histamines on top of my currently prescribed ones among my other allergy medicines. So that might explain if you ask me a question in the next few days and it takes me a few minutes to respond- I’ll have to pull myself out of my fog first.

Sick + Work == Bad

February 25th, 2008

As you may have guessed, I’m at work sick.  It’s not so much one of this sicknesses where the symptoms are actually noticeable.  It just one of those colds where it is annoying.  I’m sitting here attempting to work on training documents for Project 2007 listening to Leo Laporte’s The Tech Guy podcast on my Zune and I just can’t focus.  There is only about 2.5 hours left in the day, but I am starting to get exhausted and don’t know how much longer I can last.

Colds just suck!  I will continue to load up on Dayquil/Nyquil, Zicam, and a ton of Vitamin C.  Maybe I can stop this cold before it gets really bad.
