I didn't think my allergies were all that bad this year. That is until our AC went out and we've had to keep the house open a bit more (ok, ok, normally we're sealed up like last week's leftovers--and kept at about the same temp).
So in addition to some warmer evenings and a few more houseflies, I'm getting a healthy dose of pollen and dander and other allergens. Many people would just run right out and get an allergy shot. Sure, and I could too… IF I wanted to run the risk of an unsterilized needle getting broken off in my arm leading to a near-lethal, coma-inducing infection that can only be resolved by dramatic amputation, blood transfusions, and some sort of exploratory surgery!!!
[rocks back and forth in the corner, rubbing one arm, while mumbling "no needles, no needles, no needles"]
Ahem… where was I? Oh yeah… in lieu of a shot, Shannon has convinced me (between sneezes) to take a generic Claritin.
"Once a day" and it tastes like cherry candy while it dissolves on your tongue! (I admit that easily impressed right now.)
So I'm taking my Claritin, just biding my time until the weather turns cooler and we can shut the house back up. You know, so that it's safe from the needles.
