flea, I'd see the doctor since sometimes getting a prescription can cost less than an OTC medicine. The doc might be able to give you some samples to try and see what works.
For me, at least, while Claritin does nothing for me, Allegra is the shit.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Personally, I think the nasal sprays that have a very, very low dose of steroids work miracles for me without much in the way of side effects. (eta: Not Afrin, but things like Beconase)
Yeah, Afrin will treat the symptoms. Nasal sprays like Sparky is talking about will block the allergens. I think there's at least one non-prescription kind out there called Nasalcrom.

I use OTC Claritin and NasalCrom, although I'm tempted to go to the doctor and get back on prescription allergy meds now that I have, like, insurance.

Oh, and Dana -- just went over the D*C schedule and I don't have anything until 1pm on Friday. Cassandra Claire only has one panel this year, and she was so boring last time I doubt I'll go to heckle.

I know, god. What a disappointment. So it's good. You/we can sleep in, if necessary.
And it's time for everyone to play "What did Dana forget to pack?"
I have: clothes, socks, underwear, shoes, cell phone and charger, iPod and charger, camera and batteries and charger, hairbrush, makeup, drugs, boarding pass, con registration card, books. And probably other stuff I forgot to list.

I thought for a second you meant Xavier in New Orleans, and I was prepared to be very surprised.
This.
Cute hair shrift!
Yay Owen's first day. That lunch looks yum! I always hated how the jelly started soaking into the bread before I could eat the sandwich for lunch. Has anyone invented anything to deal with that yet?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Put a thin layer of PB on both slices of bread and then the jelly in the middle.

Dana: something to sleep in/lounge around the room in?

Um. Packed. I think. Toothpaste, definitely, because it's in my bag of OMGLiquids!
