Oh My Stars, the last two days have been awful. AWFUL!!
Can I just say, I HATE,… yes I said HATE,… Mountain Cedar! What is Mountain Cedar, you ask? It’s the most evil tree that was ever
created. It releases pollen around this
time every year. It surrounds this entire area where I live. And apparently…
I AM. HIGHLY. ALLERGIC!!!
I woke up Thursday sneezing & having normal allergy
symptoms that comes with this Texas cold, now it’s warm, now it’s cold, back
and forth weather we have. By the end of the night, my right sinus cavity
started to stop up and my right eye started to swell. I took allergy meds and went to bed thinking
it’d clear up the next day. Boy was I WRONG!!!!!
I woke
up Friday and BAM, Mr. Mountain Cedar took out his yearly attack with a vengeance. His pollen release was at it’s RECORD
HIGH! Yep, you heard me right, RECORD
HIGH! As in 3000 high. (I don’t really know what that means, but it’s
a really high number & not a good thing.)
Like I said, his yearly attack on me was with a vengeance and
the worst I’ve ever had.
Mr. Mountain Cedar caused my eyes to itch so bad I nearly
scratched them out, he caused my right eye
to swell shut and run tears of acid… All
the while causing me to sneeze my head off to no avail, because he had stopped
up all of my sinus cavities with what felt like cement!!! In
other words, I was miserable, couldn’t breathe and I had used up 2 large boxes
of Puffs tissues w/ lotion in a 24 hour period, along with ½ bottle of
Mentholatum.
Sooo while I was in bed the last two days, blowing my nose,
slathering on Mentholatum, sneezing, blowing, slathering, rinse lather
repeating ALL Day Long… Lil Man and I decided to put on some “Phineas &
Ferb” on Netflix.
Let me tell you, having my Lil Man by my side watching his
favorite show, while listening to him say over and over again, “Momma, I’m
gonna take care of you.” – has to be THE BEST MEDICINE EVER!!!! I love that little dude!
PS~ Mr. Mountain Cedar…. GO AWAY, NOW!!!!.... PLEASE & THANK YOU!!

My goodness that sounds ROUGH! Glad you're feeling better....and The Hubs and I often find ourselves laughing along with Phinas and Ferb.
Girl - I am SO sorry!!! What allergy meds are you taking? Make sure it has a decongestant ingredient - Like zyrtek-D or Claritin-D ... somethin like that.
Praying you through!!!
(and so glad you're back!)
Hi Hollie,
Poop to bad allergies! I feel your pain and hope you're on the mend quickly. I emailed you my button with an explanation of what happened...sorry about that.
Take care!
Warmly,
