this. sucks. ass.

sick with allergies but still a
major dork

as the day progressed......

my eyes got worse.

my head felt like nothing it's felt before.

my stomach wanted to hurl.

in short - i felt like complete poop. although the opposite of complete poop would be...ish...why am i bothering to even speculate on such matters. i blame the allergies.

that's right - allergies. before i could even ask him (the pharmacist at Target) what he thought he told me i had allergies and to try clariton. which i did (target brand of course - much MUCH cheaper and way more meds!).

and suprisingly enough i'm starting to feel better. i no longer want to poke my eyes out with a fork.

i never understood this whole allergy thing. i thought people's eyes watered and they got the sniffles. i was wrong. this sucks ass. my head felt like nothing i've felt before - headachy/full/dulled. my eyes (or skin around them) were itchy/burning and nothing soothed them! i bought that eye mask and it just made them hurt more - that and it made my already sick stomach more sick with it's nasty plastic smell. ah well. i feel better now.

i just hope i don't feel like this all through vacation. hmph.

and i have no idea what i'm allergic to. it started about 2 months ago. something at work? something outside? who knows. and since my dumbass forgot to get insurance i won't find out for another...well...5 months.



gross - this is what my eyes looked like at work today

Welcome to my life.

Your body changes through life and it could just be that you're in a phase now where you're allergic to dust, pollen, big city pollution, etc etc...sometimes they come and go throughout your life.

I also find that the fake version of Sudafed works very well...non-drowsy & dries ya right up. I actually like it better than Claritan but Claritan is currently the only one I can take.

The night of the Sacred Heart shoot I had a TERRIBLE allergy attack the whole time. Ugh. It was exhausting!

Hope you're feeling better soon!
