It is a depressing truth that one can develop allergies at any age. I've tried most antihistamines, but find that diphenhydramine (Benedryl) works as well as anything, and it doesn't make me sleepy.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Benedryl works terrific for my allergies, but it also puts me into a coma for about 8 hours. Totally non-functional.

Post toasties:
This week has been hectic and is just going to get worse for the next couple of days.
I totally overslept yesterday to the point where I missed my first period class. The school secretary grabbed a sub for me (I did call in, it's not like I just didn't show up!).
Last night, we had load-in for our show. It took from 5:30 to midnight. I got home and chilled and fell asleep about 1am. Then was up 4.5 hours later for school.
I have to leave right after school because we have dress rehearsal tonight. It will be the first time in the theatre with all the props/set/costumes, so I know the first run-through is going to suck. And, since I'm the director and *in* the show, I'm going to be running around from the stage to the house and back trying to watch the scenes I'm not in. And, trying to run around in a dinosaur costume. Hopefully the second will go better. I suspect we'll be in reh till 11 or 12.
Tomorrow, thank the powers that be, I have the day off. The show opens tomorrow night and then we have 2 shows on Sat.

Ugh. I slept wrong or something because my neck is hurting like a mother. Am stretching it constantly, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Blergh! I think something must be pollenating in Iowa because I have a dizzy headache.
I'm waiting to hear the news about the job I interviewed for on Monday. The fact that it is almost 3 pm CDT and I have heard nothing does not bode well.

Oh, best wishes quester. Let's hope they are spending the time getting things ready for you.
Zyrtec users: Are all Zyrtec's created equally? I'm so headed to the CVS because nothing else is working. Confusingly, there seem to be a bajillion types.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In a true bitches segue, I would like to take the conversation from allergies to naked guys. I am going to see this: [link] tonight! I am looking forward to seeing Bindlestaff Chimneysweep as the Monster. I have heard that said monster is naked at some points.
I shall give a full report on the morrow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Zyrtec is the only thing that works for me, that doesn't put me right to sleep. The liquid capsules seem to work faster, but otherwise, 10 mg is 10 mg.
Oddly, I've needed antihistamines much less here in the verdant mountains of Virginia than I did in central Jersey.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I pretty frequently eat Greek yogurt with honey for breakfast. The other day I found a jar of maple cream in the cabinet... aw yeah.
It's pretty damn amazing.

I usually buy the store brands of Zyrtec because they're cheaper and they work just fine for me.
