I'm on generic claritin daily, mostly because I can get a lot of it cheap.
Oh, you know, I didn't take benadryl last night. That might be contributing.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I miss Benedryl (not supposed to take it because of the tamoxifen). Charlie the dog has allergies and he gets to take it, but I don't.

I'm actually trying Allegra for a month because I've been on Zyrtec so long that I'm pretty sure it isn't working for me anymore.
Yeah, I have to occasionally switch between the holy trinity of Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec when one of them stops working.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've always taken Sudafed and Benedryl as needed, the minimal dose has been effective for me, even if it was a run of several days. I'm still taking the actual, sign in blood for Sudafed, and it helps. But when I need antihistamine, Benedryl isn't working any more. I mean, it works, but man, I'm out like a light. I need to try something non-drowsy, because my allergies get worse every year, and the choice between misery awake and falling asleep when I need to be awake isn't funny any more.

Allegra, Zyrtec, and Claritin are non-drowsy* and you only have to take them once a day.
*(Claritin makes me drowsy, but I haven't met anyone else who's had that problem, so I am an outlier. I just take it at bedtime and it's all good.)

I'm an annoying sister, because my brother keeps texting me and I'm only replying with memes. Though, to be fair, if you text me something like "The rent in Boulder is exorbitant, and we can buy a nice house for $400 less a month," you really should expect me to reply with the The Rent Is Too Damn High guy. Come on.

I know, right? But I think he means the rent is too damn high compared with what a mortgage payment would be on a similar house. I THINK. On the other hand, they just came from Vermont, where my understanding is that you can pay your rent in weed or with a killer drum circle, so they might think ANY rent is high.
