Whine and wheeze

[clevermanka]

Wheeze: The allergies are really kicking my ass. Friday wasn't good and my lung capacity has gone steadily downhill. I'm ok if I'm just sitting still, but even talking takes a little bit out of me. I have a call in to my doctor begging them to renew my inhaler script (that I haven't used in over three years). I'm tired of coughing. Blah.

Whine: I decided I wanted a change from cottage cheese breakfasts so I made up a couple of my sugar-free pumpkin pies yesterday. However, I made the (apparently) wrong decision to play around with the spices. I added cardamom to the mix (as suggested in the directions) thinking that would give it a bit of an exotic flair. Wrong. It tastes vaguely nasty and makes my tongue feel numb. So now, 2 pies down the garbage. Yuck. And no breakfast. Wah.

Had a great weekend that included some craziness (see posts by bellanorth, stuology, _mac_, and 0verdrive) and also celebrated Beltane in a happily appropriate fashion.

Next weekend looks to be a little more sedate since the folks will be visiting. Alas, I'll miss the Sellout show. =(

Might be calling it a short day today since I'm still feeling crappy. Sitting at home in my warm jammies and coughing up my lungs sounds inordinately more comfortable than doing the same here in my freezing office. Cough, hack.

Oh, hey! That's what I am doing today. Well, without the jammies. Had to run the boyo to his grandmother's, so I got dressed.

Yuck! I hope you feel better soon and can find something yummy to much on.

Aaah. Misery does love company, but sorry to hear you're feeling bad.

"something yummy to MUNCH on"

pardon my spelling

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Me, too!

Sorry to hear you're getting worse- hope you get the scrip renewed today. If you need someone to pick up it up and deliver, ring me.

Hooray, the nurse is calling in a script, but they want me to go in and see someone tomorrow. Stupid doctors. Even more annoying: Stupid $20 co-pay! Grrr. But at this point, anything if I can breathe and stop coughing!!!

My allergies are SUCKING right now too - faucet nose, ugh. Such a pain the butt. Good luck, I'm hoping this sudafed will kick in!

I hope you feel better soon. I have been really lucky myself as my allergies have yet to flare up too much yet this spring...

Ha! That's funny! Not in a "look at your misfortune" way but rather in a "how many times have I heard that" way. :)

I wish you hadn't thrown out those pies. My throat is on fire and I need something to numb it.

The hideous cottonwoods are doing their thing outside my house. I hate,hate, hate those trees, and my landlord for not cutting my dandelion patch yet.
I really want to get that garden started (domestication of R, part two).

Feel better, honey, I share your pain. (wheeze)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't actually throw them out, yet. Want 'em?

I send you sympathy from afar.

Down with allergies! We must mount an uprising against 'em!

Best wishes for clear breathing,
Chris

Ditto. Last night was the first time I'd left my house in the past two days.

I'm at work now and want to go home.
