allergies

all this plant sex is making me sick! i forget that fall brings with it allergens as well as spring. i wake up looking like a little piggie, with my eyes swollen very small, and feeling as though i have an anvil sitting on my sinuses. then once i get up and going, the anvil is replaced by a tiny elf living in my nose with a feather. and the whole time i feel sluggish and tired, in spite of repeated infusions of caffeine and a double dose of claritin, against the label's directions. stupid, stupid allergies.
