Allergies

I have to admit I hate having fall allergies. Who knew that allergens would be more abundant (or maybe just potent) in the fall? I certainly didn't. But I'm more than a little tired of taking a Zyrtec D right before bed and still waking up at 2am every night to blow my nose a few times to get all that yuck out. Last year my allergies lasted for about a month, but I'm really hoping that things will cool off sooner and hopefully cut down on the allergy time. Otherwise the people around me are going to wonder why I can't have more social poise than to snort and snuff everywhere. And the sneezing?! It's like I can't control my whole body heaving as it tries to expel the allergens. BLAH! To those who are in my vacinity when this happens, I'm just going to put out a general I'M SO SORRY!!!! I didn't realize how loud my sneezing had gotten either until I was sitting in my kitchen and all of a sudden I hear my 2 year-old daughter yelling "AAAACHOOOOO" as loud as she could. I had to laugh when I realized she must think that I'm trying to sneeze as loud as I can. Okay, I'll admit sometimes at home I try to let it out loud, but usually the sneezing is so violent that it's just how they come out. I just hope they realize I'm not trying to do that before they do something I'll regret in public. Happy fall, y'all!
