Zapped!

I hate Spring. Oh, I love what it means, that Winter is on it's way out and Summer is just around the corner but other than that, I really don't like it. I hate it because it is ALWAYS accompanied by allergies. Those allergies are really kicking my butt this year. I can't hardly function, hence the title of this post. My energy levels are pretty much in the toilet. Oh, how I miss Spring in Nova Scotia when I didn't have to deal with this crap.

My biggest problem is that allergy medications don't work for me. At least, the ones that don't make me sleepy don't work. The ones that do work are the ones that knock me out. And I don't mean for just a couple of hours, I'm talkin' days. For example, last Monday I took some good stuff, my symptoms were completely gone. I was also snowed until Wednesday night. Not kidding. I can't handle walking around in a drug-induced haze for days on end so I've decided to just suffer. Problem with that is that I don't sleep as well as night because I can't breath. But I'll take tired over lingering chemicals.

Last night, Damon had an issue at just before 2 a.m. After he settled back down, I couldn't. Couldn't breath. After tossing and turning for more than an hour, I slept sitting up on the couch. I slept good once I fell asleep, but the sleep wasn't long enough, even after sleeping in for an extra hour. I had to take a nap this afternoon.

So, if you see me or talk to me and I seem a little extra mean and bitchy, this is why. If you'd prefer to just avoid me until mid-late June, I'll understand.
