I have been feeling less than inspired these last few weeks. Perhaps you've been able to tell. For right now, I'm going to blame it on my allergies. I keep waking up in the night with my nose stuffed up, my throat dry because I've been breathing through my mouth, and my eyes so itchy I can't stop clawing at them. I finally broke down and took some claritin*, but last night, at least, even that didn't seem to help.
So I've had to stop wearing mascara, which makes me feel like I look like a rabbit. A very sad, just-finished-crying rabbit. Which, naturally, made me think of this video from the first episode of Flight of the Conchords:
So that's what I have to say for now. I'm not crying. It's just a little bit of pollen in my eyes.
*Funny thing about me. I love suggesting to other people that they take drugs. I will offer ibuprofen, Tylenol, anything if you even think you might have a headache. But for all my drug pushing tendencies, I really hate taking anything for myself. I'm not really sure why, although I suspect my inability to swallow pills has something to do with it...

Try natural tears for eye relief-it might help and it won't hurt and.....best of all.....it doesn't have to be swallowed!!!!!
Hey, I just read your comment on my blog about your lack of a garden -- I TOTALLY have seedlings the *really really* need to be planted; they're getting way to big for their starter box. You can have them ALL, I've already got all I can handle planted. I have tomatoes, squash and zucchini and watermelon. They just need to be put in the ground or in a big enough pot.
Ugh, please disregard my incorrect "to" usage there.
I HATE taking medicine, too. Always have. I think it's because it mostly makes the problem worse in my body and not better...It's always luck of the draw with me.
I'm so sorry your allergies have been such a pain, but at least it gave you a good excuse to put that video up! That's an awesome song. :0) I hope your eyes get feeling better very soon!!
OK, I'll be a drug-pusher and suggest Flonase. I started using it a few years ago for allergy related sinus problems and it works wonderfully. You squirt it up your nose, so no swallowing!
My optometrist told me to use either Opcon A or Naphcon A. Love them.
