Once again, at the request of a dedicated Twitter follower, I am writing today's blog post on the topic of allergies.
While I do believe that flowers have a certain appeal and while I do enjoy the shade of a tree in the summertime, I really wish there was an alternate to the yearly explosion of pollen from grass, trees, and the like. I hate the bi-yearly tradition where I fall into a miserable tailspin of watery eyes, sneezing fits, and using enough Kleenex (product plug!) that really has me considering buying stock in the company in the spring and in the fall.
What I would really like to know is just where in the hell my body stores all the snot that comes out of my head when my allergies kick in. I have been known to use a box of Kleenex in less than 8 hours. Sneeze, blow my nose, sneeze, blow my nose, blow my nose some more, sneeze, blow my brains out of my nostrils, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, eyes start watering, sneeze, sneeze. By the time I'm done, it's a miracle that I am still hydrated and haven't lost 3 to 5 pounds.
Claratin (product plug!) is a life saver, in my humble opinion. Thank GOD that company wised up and started to let people buy it without having to have a prescription. I'm sure they're selling tons of it now. And I'll tell you what, it does work in a pinch!
I don't really understand the science behind pollen - the different types, etc. But I can tell you this. I was taking a drive with a friend this past weekend and we had the windows down in the car. All of the sudden, I smelled something (no one farted, it wasn't a skunk) and my friend's eyes started watering uncontrollably, then I started in with my sneezing symphony. There was a distinct plant-blooming type smell that hit us like a brick wall. It was the first time that had ever happened to me, but by God, I'm glad that whatever that pollen producing plant was isn't blooming in my back yard! It was a miracle that we were able to stay on the road. Stupid pollen. Stupid allergies.
