The problem with quitting allergy medicine is that you’re suddenly stuck with the symptoms of allergies. It wasn’t so bad throughout most of the day, despite my not having slept very well again last night and having decided to forgo caffeine as well. (It not surprisingly makes the edginess worse and seems to kick up whatever’s left of the Allegra in my system.) But this evening…man, I’ve just been miserable. Sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, scratchy throat, sinus headache — all that fun stuff listed as symptoms on the box for seasonal allergies.
So I may just turn in early tonight and try to get some sleep.
I got word today from Heather that the temperature’s already in the forties in Banff, where I’ll be in a little over two weeks. Right now, when it’s muggy and allergy-y like this, and “cool” is mid-seventies, that sounds pretty darn nice.
