{May 16, 2014}   Mother Nature…why do you dislike me so?

Allergies..allergies…allergies…ugh

I grew up in NYC and the only thing I was allergic to was cigarette smoke. I moved to Georgia and sure enough, the adage was if you don’t have allergies before you move to Georgia, you will! I made it about ten years, maybe a little bit more and then it was all over.

Atlanta has some of the highest pollen count on the planet every Spring, the cars are yellow and the run offs are yellow and green. Lovely.

As soon as Spring hits, I’m sneezing and wheezing and blowing my nose, weehoo. I suffer every year and then I found this great herbal remedy, a dissolvable pill that directed you to take one every two hours and like clockwork, every two hours I needed them.

I moved to Colorado and have sneezed maybe four times, and that was because my nose was itchy! I have been loving it! I can be outside all day and no issues! Love love love!

Michigan has been so-so, I’m starting to get affected, but not like I was in Atlanta. Well..do you remember when I went to Atlanta for the Dirty Girl 5k? I was getting off the plane and right on the jetway, the humidity hit me and then my eyes started to water and I began to sneeze…Nooooo!

From Atlanta, I went to Boston and it wasn’t too bad, at first..I ended up having to take a Zyrtec after a while, then back to Michigan and it’s again, so-so, but we’ve been having a lot of rain, so that helps.

Today I am back in Boston and I barely made it off the plane and I am sneezing and my nose is running like crazy, I may shvr already used up a box of tissues and I’ve only been here about an hour and change!

I took a Zyrtec when I couldn’t take it anymore and I think it’s working, I’m not sneezing, my eyes aren’t too itchy and my nose isn’t running, but I think I’m about to fall a sleep where I’m sitting!

So, in conclusion, Mother Nature, what did I ever do to you? How can I make this right so I can stop sneezing!
