I forgot what allergies are like

When I woke up this morning, my first thought was "Am I hungover?" I felt wretched. I made my way downstairs (carefully!), found my phone, called in sick, crawled up the stairs (literally, on all fours), and went back to bed for another three hours.

Last night's bit of excess wine with excellent company might be a partial culprit, but good god, has anyone looked at the weed pollen allergy charts for today? Jesus. No wonder my sinuses feel like they're trying to ooze out my eyeballs. I'm sure yesterday's rain stirred up all sorts of mold stuff, too.

Of course, Mikell Adams's office is closed on Thursday, so no NMT booster shot for me today. I'm going to get in some serious neti pot action, though, and ask Kiva my wonderful acupuncturist if there's anything she can do to help with allergies at least for this weekend. I'll back that up with some of mckitterick's Claritins.

My last NMT treatment was (according to LJ tags), March of 2009. Pretty amazing. I can't believe that shit really works. But this little reminder of how I used to feel all the time in the spring and fall...wow. So glad this is a rare occurance now.

I think I might go lie down again.
