There are many fabulous and horrible things about rain.
Let’s focus on the fabulous things about rain manifesting today… primarily: Rain washes away the pollen.
My car is green at the moment, its proper color. Yesterday it was yellow. My eyes are not actually burning like I’m getting sick or I’ve just had a hard crying jag. I can breathe, through both nostrils, at the same time. Last week I discovered the joys of computerized pharmacy systems and got my Flonase refilled down in South Carolina. Last night I dug out my patenol (eye drops my eye doctor prescribed) because my eyes were stinging so much.
I’m on 3 allergy medications and yet still consider myself lucky that my allergies aren’t worse. Sure, they’re annoying and I hate them and firmly believe that if I moved back to New England they’d be much better… but I can breathe and sleep, mostly, if I time my doses right. Still, I fondly remember how well I slept before I started taking Zyrtec.
