Lookit all the pretty pills
This is the worst allergy season I’ve had in many, many, many years. If I go outside, I immediately get a headache, start sneezing and snuffling, and my ears close up. Inside, I’m better, but even cut flowers make my head hurt. (Plagioclase’s mother loves to have cut flowers on the dining table. All the time. My not-too-bad headache is a small price to pay for making her happy.)
When I take any of the various medicines available to me (and believe me, I’ve tried most of ‘em — pink ones, red ones, white ones, peach ones), I have some relief, but usually at the expense of my mental capacity. I zombify. It does not matter that sudafed is supposed to not make you sleepy, it does to me. And benadryl? Jitters.
So, I get to choose between having a headache and being generally miserable and not getting anything accomplished (I have two three websites to work on, and loads of paper-pushing to do), or being a zombie and wanting only to eat brainz.
Hmm… is it time for lunch, yet? Hey, can somebody tell me how do I post stuff, again?
