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.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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.

To be fair, you *might* be able to pay your rent that way in Northside, too. But we own, so the bank wants cold hard cash instead of bong hits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hee!
He's saying the mortgage is $400 less than the rent, right? Not that either of the prices are $400.
