But the thing is, I haven't been having gradually increasing symptoms; they just suddenly got bad around Thanksgiving. Normally, I would assume sudden bad symptoms are due to a change in *something* -- new drug, new food, new cat, new *something.* I can't figure it out, but it's starting to freak me out.
That's me right now. Since before Thanksgiving, needing Benadryl almost every day, itchy eyes and throat, sneezing, the whole works. Nothing's changed -- we have the same two cats we've had for two years. I don't get it, but I'm tired of it.

That's almost exactly what I've got going on. Plus I have this thing (new in the last 2 days) where my face feels sunburned, but it isn't red and there's no rash or hives or whatever. I feel like some crazy histamine reaction kicked in and won't stop.
I know what CJ wants for xmas...
You are so right. Ain't happening, but oh, how he would love that.
That was odd. I took some Advil, then fell asleep for several hours. Woke up, and I feel kind of feverish, but I don't have a fever. Also not hungry, even though it's 10 and the last time I ate was lunch. Definitely calling the doctor again tomorrow.
Hey guys! scattershot ~ma everywhere. I've been reading as much as I can, and skimming where I can't. Shir, I hope your mom gets better super quick. Hil, I hope you get relief soon. What a terrible cough.
I've had a headache since thanksgiving. It's making me a little mean, also whiny. Everything's my fault because I can't shake off a blasted headache.
Nick turned 26 this year!! I don't mind my age, but he's not supposed to grow up like this!
Plei! I need your help (or anyone else's who knows haircolor). Many years ago, I colored my hair with this gorgeous dark, dark brown with a purpley-red tone. It had a definite purplish cast to the color. I want that color again, but it was discontinued after, and I don't even remember the name or anything. Is making me go spare. The closest I can find on the shelf is Garnier dark cherry. Is there a way I can mix up something like that from the shelves? I don't know where to start, so you'd have to talk me through it in words of one syllable, on account of the stupid seems to live here now. I'm not in a hurry or anything. I have to save up the energy to get the stuff and then do it, but I think I need a boost of something.
The description sounds like the old Egyptian Plum which is now simply burgundy brown. It's a semi-permanent color. And there are detailed instructions in the box.
Hiiiiiii, Deena!
Hiiii, Cass! Thank you so much. I'll try that one, then, and see what happens.
I'm reading Seanan McGuire's One Salt Sea with Greg. I don't usually read "with" someone, and we keep reading ahead of one another, and then wanting to talk about something that happened.
Deena! Mwah! Now for sleepy times.
Deeeeena!!! Hey love.
Had Puppy Boy texting me about a non-emergency issue when I was trying to sleep last night, and woke up to a text from another crew member that she'll be out sick. Which means I'm down to three, since one is taking the week off to do grad school prep. And another wants to work in the warehouse this week. Uh, no.
IOW, I am not ready for this week.
eta just had another one text in sick. I'm left with Puppy Boy and Sullen Girl for today. Awesome.
All that sleeping yesterday might have been my body finally fighting off whatever this is. After I woke up this morning, I was awake for an hour before I started coughing, and driving into work, I was able to sing along with an entire song on the radio without coughing. (It was "Wonderwall," which has long pauses every five words or so, so I didn't have to take any deep breaths. I have a feeling I would not have been able to get through a more difficult song.)
