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.

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.
