Was flat on my back yesterday with the sinus headache from hell.
Excessive pressure to the point of where my ears were clogged along with the rest of my damn head.
Called into work and stayed in bed till noon. Still felt like crap, but at least I was able to sit up and watch TV.
Feeling better today - I guess the rain reduced some of the pollen.

Bummer for real. Sneezing like crazy is the worst of it for me so far. Haven't resumed taking the certrizine yet and didn't think it did all that much for me last year anyway. We will be watching the Nugget for a while tomorrow and he just started daycare this week. Daughter said beware he's got a runny nose and doesn't know if it's allergies or what. Well I may not be a doctor but Occam's Razor says bacteria overload so we'll be using hand sanitizer by the bucketfull.

Get ready! Maples are gearing up and they are predicting “blustery” conditions tomorrow. Thank goodness for navage!

I'd be spraying the kid with Lysol!
The biggest thing right now for me is that I have small spells of dizziness if I turn my head too fast. Once this shit passes it will go away, but it's annoying as hell.

We only went prepared with a tiny little complimentary size hand sanitizer let's just say we needed a 5 gallon bucket lol. Oh well totally worth it.

Jeez. You can actually see all the pollen in the air! Where’s the rain that is supposed to wash it away?

Been raining pretty good here since I went out to pick up a battery for the new riding mower... which was around 3.

Nothing here. But I got HUGE piles of oak tree sex on my deck and in my yard. We are due thunderstorms sometime after 9pm.

Yeah I'm already sneezing up a storm this morning even with the house closed up. Certrizine (Zyrtec?) doesn't seem to help at all. Wondering if my doctor will call in something else. Is there anything that works or am I going to have to go get the honey from the place just up the road? The old man from the DDI swears by it, but said you have to get it from someone as close to where you live as possible.

I use Flonase when it’s really bad (I take Zyzal daily, too). But I also Navage, which does a good job of clearing out a lot of that gunk.

Two words - Fucking Pollen.
At the trailer - doing spring cleaning, part of which was clearing out the shed to see what was actually in it.
Head may explode...OTOH, found not only a spare battery for the mower, but one that has more storage. Why the previous owners never used it is beyond me.

According to weatherbug, the pollen level is over 11 and is mostly maple, cedar/juniper, and birch.

I think it's dandelion ecstacy since the yard features big tall dandy lions standing tall above the rest of the various weeds and most seem to have released their cotton balls. I thought they had more of a parachute type structure than just floating shards of cotton.

I suspect so as well. Would that they would remove the pollen from the air as they lazily saunter by!
