O-ho! You just *thought* you were over the allergy problems!

Bad allergies. Ugh.

Yesterday evening I was supposed to go to a make-up yoga session but I skipped it. My face hurt to lean forward just to grab stuff out of the fridge or pick up a pen. The sinus throbbing went all the way into my lower molars. I had to snort half a bottle of Afrin so my nasal passages opened up enough for me to sleep. This morning my eyes are red, and my face is full. I was, at least, able to do all my exercises today since only the first one (push-ups) and last one (plank pose) required a face-downward position.

Tonight I'm going to Walgreen's to pick up some Sudafed. The real pseudoephedrine stuff. Because fuck a bunch of this. Hello, meth watchlist!

On the advice of this article at Begin2Dig, I tried covering up the glowing numbers on my alarm clock last night. Since I use a Sunrise Bio-Brite alarm clock, I don't want to wear my eye mask every night. I used a piece of fabric and some electrical tape, so I could lift the cover to check the time when I (inevitably) wake to pee in the middle of the night. I don't know if it was that or the fact that I was exhausted from allergy issues, but man did I sleep well. Something I'd like to be doing right now, in fact.

The eyes--they burn--and I have a little bit of vertigo, probably from the sinus pressure in my ears.

One more weekend of faire. And then I swear, I'm not going to spend more than fifteen continuous minutes outside for an entire week. I am So Done. I'm not dancing on Saturday, and right now I think I'm not going to make it out at all that day, even for Smoker. B-l-a-h.

Ok, what the hell is in the air? The dust from the industrial corn harvest? My allergies are the worst they have been all year, and by far. My eyes have been insanely itchy, burny and wet, and I've been sneezing and wheezing, yet my symptoms are inconsistent with those of a virus, so I am confident it is not a cold. I am also confident that it SUCKS.

Oh, and there's also been the persistent sinus headache, which has been rad.

Whatever it is, I hope it goes away soon. I don't know what's needed, but the air needs to fucking clear.

As much as I hate to say it, we need a solid freeze. Or two.
