What? You don't think being an artist with a disability is enough disappointment that you want to make me Sox fan, too? (Of course, without the curse, who knows?) But, as in any language, invective comes first, right? And suddenly moods improve all over Secaucus and nobody knows why.
I want that brilliant mind of yours to suddenly be compelled to write baseball fic.
That sounds like allergies, Jilli.
So, if one has never had allergies before, how does one tell the difference between them and a potential cold?
I'd think an easy thing to try would be to take an antihistamine. They make no real difference to cold symptoms, but should make some change in an allergic reaction.
If you're speaking of seasonal allergies, usually I only get stuffed head, watery eyes, and maybe some scratchy throat. Not usually the really tired. YAllergies, of course, MV.
Jilli, sounds like my allergies. Like Ailleann said, try an antihistamine. If it fixes you up, it's probably allergies. Have some caffeine with it to combat the drug-induced sleepies.
Coffee and Benadryl. It's what's for breakfast.
Have some caffeine with it to combat the drug-induced sleepies.
Oh dear. The problem is that caffeine is not enough to combat the sort of antihistimine crash I suffer. Benadryl is a sleeping pill to my system.
I guess it's time to go stare at the selection of allergy meds that are in the first aid box in the kitchen, and see if any say "non-drowsy formula!"
Jilli, did you see the pictures for the Minion roster?
Jilli, pick up some Claritan-D from the local pharmacy. It's behind the counter, but it doesn't require a script and won't make you drowsy.
And Joe's car is gone.
I'm kinda sad about it. It's the car we brought Em home in.
Jilli, did you see the pictures for the Minion roster?
I did! Very, very cute. Clovis approves.
Actually, it isn't necessarily true that first generation antihistamines (like Benedryl) have no effect on cold symptoms - there's evidence that they will reduce the runny nose, sneezing and coughing.
Aimee, count the money again -- maybe that will help your sadness.
