Attack of the Allergies

Last Sunday, Easter, I went out and sat on the back patio for about 15 minutes. Apparently that was not a wise choice. The rest of that day and all of Monday I had a horrible allergy attack. The Wife says it was one of the worst, if not the worst, she's ever seen me with. People who don't have allergies have no idea how it feels. I was blowing my nose every couple of minutes and sneezing every sixty seconds. On Monday evening I tried something new. I took a slug of Nyquil at 6:30, managed to stay up another couple of hours before going to bed, woke up at 11:30 and took another shot of the stuff, and then slept the rest of the night. I woke up in much better shape. I took some Dayquil on Tuesday and felt a lot better. I should have tried this approach years ago. The rest of the week was a slow climb back toward normalcy, although today I have a touch of it again after running 3 miles and then mowing the lawn. Plus it's ultra-windy still, and that never helps with the allergies. More medicine might be in store for today.
