Attack of the Killer Pollen

Today I woke up with a major allergy attack. It's the worst I've had in a long long time. My eyes were swollen and itchy, my nose was running and I felt awful. I left my allergy medicine at work so I ran to cvs on my way to the gym to get more. The clerk asked me if I had just woken up because I was barely opening my eyes.... "ummm no mam, I'm buying allergy medicine because I'm having an allergy attack. I've actually been up for a few hours." Now feeling incredibly confident about my appearance, strode into the gym head held high, eyes red and puffy, with a little trickle of snot running done my face. Thank the Lord it is Wed, I only do cardio on Wed, and the gym is all but deserted. I muttled through a mediocre work out before heading to the grocery store, now sporting sweat as well as red eyes and a little snot... not to mention that I was now in an allergy medicine induced stupor in which it takes every thing three times as long to process. "Paper or Plastic?".............."Mam, paper or plastic?" ........ "Excuse me, do you want paper or plastic?"..........that's when I realize that the girl I'm staring at is actually speaking to me.

The rest of my day has been spent trying to find the balance between highly medicated and functional. So far functional is losing. My goal for starting and finishing painting trim in the living room has changed to start and finish painting by Memorial Day. Hope all of you allergy suffers had a better day then I!
