I wish 
my weeds were this pretty. Our home backs up to what I refer to as a “jungle”. My husband says it’s just an unmanicured lot. Whatever! When foxes and dear and a freaking bobcat have been seen back there it’s a jungle in my book. All that’s missing are the monkeys.
Suddenly I’m having watery eyes and an itchy cough. I haven’t had allergies in years. Lucky me. It looks like this is my year to get hit with something. I could just have a cold or something but I don’t think so because it’s been over a week and really all I have is an itchy throat that makes me want to cough for relief, but just a little clear-it cough, very little congestion and swollen eyes so bad it’s making me think I need to nap all day even though I’m not the slightest bit tired. I mean it. My eyes look like Lisa Rinna’s lips.
I checked the weather.com pollen forecast and weed pollen is really high. Lovely! A little research and I’m now drinking Apple Cider Vinegar with honey in hot water until I can get to the store for some Zyrtec. I know there are a lot of meds on the market but I picked this one because it was the one that actually had a site with information about weed allergies (per below).
As soon as the eye swelling is under control enough that I can apply at least some basic makeup to prevent people thinking Halloween came early this year I’ll head to Walgreens. The Zyrtec better work or I’ll be back to zing them! I haven’t slept in 3 days because I keep waking up to let out one little cough ALL night. I’m cranky and tired and I need some relief.
