This is my life right now. Not pictured is the Zyrtec. None of this is working. I’m an itchy, sneezy, runny, miserable mess. I hate allergies. I haven’t even figured out what the hell I’m allergic to, as there is no rhyme or reason when my body is going to go into meltdown mode. Inside, outside, night, day… it doesn’t matter! What’s even funnier is when I go lay outside in the grass for hours, nothing happens. I’m fine! The next day, it’s a mess.
Stupid body. I never used to have this problem. I’d walk around with a false sense of superiority during the spring time; passing all of those afflicted, juggling armloads of tissues and pills. Now I’m one of those people. I’m the one blowing my nose until I can’t see straight, trying to tell the difference between various nasal sprays. I’m sure that teenage girl today looking at me wallow in the midst of a sneeze attack was judging me, feeling superior just like I used to. I wanted to suffocate her with tissues and Claritin, but I knew deep down, just like me, that her uppance would come.
Oh, the hubris of the young. I’ll see you in hell.

I’ve been suffering from allergies since I was a kid at camp in the midwest. It sucks! I don’t know what’s worse - having allergies in the spring in DC or being perpetually single! Thank you though, for the words of wisdom
Hope you feel better.
