A recipe for misery.

Having the pollen count suddenly shoot up to about a billion while you are in the midst of experiencing a cold is most definitely a recipe for utter, complete misery. That is how I spent my Easter weekend (and Monday). How was yours?

Spring is lovely. Too bad mother nature is such a bitch.

How was mine? One word...

Snow.

Snow? Hahahahahahahahaha. It was in the 80s here. We probably won't even see another frost until fall.

Dropped Kids off @ Grandparents on Thursday late PM. Woke up Friday morning and my car was green with Pollen. I understand. We drove home Friday night and my head was reeling (unlinke the large parking lot - do you know the only place we MADE time was I75 thru downtown ATL? went thu Macon this time instead of I20). I spent Sat and Sun blowing my nose. Yesterday I slept 13 hrs and am fine now. I do not miss the difference in Pollen.

Hope you feel better soon.

Have you tried infecting yourself with hookworms? I heard somewhere that they can help. Or, you know, kill you or something.

Jenn - feeling much better today, in spite of the pollen count being even higher (2,962). It won't get any better until it rains.

ctheokas - I have heard of hookworms for alleries, and find them intriguing. Except for the whole "harvest them from human poop" thing. Somehow, I don't think my doctor would approve. She's kind of a drip. Besides, that guy who was selling them had to flee the country and now doesn't sell them in the USA. :-(

IIRC the hookworms were pig worms and couldn't live in the human system for very long. But while they were there, they supposedly made your allergic responses concentrate on them and nothing else...

Not sure the cure isn't worse than the disease though...

However... Fry got infested by worms that one time in Parasites Lost and it was actually a boon.
