whatever my fingers decide to type

So yeah…… I haven’t had a chance to write a blog in a while because I don’t really think about doing it when I’m at home because I don’t want to pay for Internet and work has been a wee bit crazy to say the least.   And my constant fight with pollen hasn’t helped much either.  Basic recap of the past 3 weeks after I fell and got a new fridge…. I had one week left with out sweets and it was surprisingly easy til I got to Saturday and all I wanted was ice cream…. I was good… I waited til midnight to have it. Easter Sunday started out well and ended with me feeling rather sickly.  I think I passed out on the couch for about 2 and a half hours.  It was that sleep that just made you feel even more sleepy every time you woke up all you wanted was more sleep.  So I allowed myself to be a little lazy.

I wasn’t feeling any better that next day either.  I got a variety of meds to help with the “sickness” and started feeling better around Wednesday… well that is until I thought it would be ok to ride with the windows down.  It was like my sore throat and achey body came back with vengeance.  I finally broke down and took the claritin D which makes me feel crazy but also helps me feel better in other ways.  By Friday I was praying for rain… anything to give me some sort of relief.  And it did… it poured Saturday.

I’m still fighting the pollen considering it’s already made another thick layer of green/yellow nastiness on my car.  I can only imagine what is hiding out in my sinuses.  I’ve taken to using a netipot(which I think is awesome… something to clean out your nose with..who would have thought?!)  and taking showers nightly to get any pollen that is attached itself to me off.  I avoid being outside for extended periods of time which is going to be hard this next weekend because of the music festival…. I’m taking all the meds I own with me. haha 

Another new thing I’m going to try is eating at least a spoon full of locally made honey.  Several years ago a friend told me that was supposed to help with colds and more recently a co-worker said it has helped with her son’s allergies.  So I figured it can’t hurt to try it.

I’m considering allergy shots….. however that will be a process considering I haven’t been tested in over 20 years soooooooo that will involve a lot of poking and prodding and I’m not looking forward to ANY of that.

If anyone else has any suggestions of ways to combat allergies that doesn’t involve pills I would love to know!

Also my birthday is this Sunday I’ll be the ripe old age of 28!
