Allergies

Okay, its bad enough when the pollen is up and
you can justify allergies, but when the pollen is
down from rain….then comes the mold. The stuffy
nose, drainage and the cough. It’s a pitiful feeling.

I took allergy shots for years only to drop off and
stop taking them in 2006. I figured this would
be the year the allergies would kick back in
and the shots would be out of my system for
sure. Actually its not been that bad until today.

Right now I am sucking on a cough drop and trying
to keep from rubbing my eyes. The chest is tight
and the nose is running…wait, now its stopped
up again…..it alternates between the two.

We are having a break in the rain today….or at
least until tonight at some point. Cloudy just the
same. We have not had a nice sunny day in over
a week. Mother Nature, its time to give it up and
let the sun shine.

Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

Things are bad here, too, Pam. Nashville and Atlanta are two of the worst places around for allergies. I now buy generic sudafed (you have to show your driver's license and get it at the pharmacy, but you don't have to have a prescription.) It costs maybe $4 for 20 12-hour pills. I do that during the day; at night, I use the "new" sudafed (little red pills) because they don't keep me awake. I also take Claritin (generic) when the pollen is really bad. All of that together keeps me breathing, so I guess that's a good thing! Oh, and I have to sleep with (sugarless)gum in my mouth; seems to keep the stuff from draining down my throat. So far, I haven't swallowed or choked on the gum. Yet.

Pam,

I came over to 'meet you' after you left that sweet comment over at my blog. I'm sorry to hear that you've got a nephew in Heaven due to Neuroblastoma too. I REALLY HATE CANCER!! (The story you shared about Sean working the rain button was too cute. It's always amazing how the kiddos handle what life throws at them.

Okay, I won't keep you.. I just wanted to stop in and say hello and to thank you for stopping by my blog -

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
