Niantic added new things for your player character to wear. Some cost money, and some are free.
The Magikarp hat is free. It is for me. I can relate.
Magikarp can’t do much but flop around. I’m just as limited during Spring Pollen Season.

I just don’t care anymore. I have lost the ability to focus.
A pollen count of 10.5 is more than enough to affect people who don’t have pollen allergies.

How long will this Spring Pollen Season go on? Nobody knows! I find that extremely frustrating. In general, its easier for me to cope with awfulness if I KNOW that there will be an endpoint and exactly WHEN that endpoint will be.

I’ve been so sick, for so long, that it’s starting to feel “normal”. That doesn’t mean I feel good. It means I’ve been in pain for so long that I forgot what it feels like to not be in pain.

Today, the pollen count is 9.9. It may as well be a 10.

Today, the pollen count is 10.4.
I managed to go outside to drive to Denny’s to pick up food and bring home and eat. There is something about being on a lot of Benadryl for several days in a row that makes Denny’s sound really good.

I seem to have lost a day somehow. This is not unusual during Spring Pollen Season. Part of the reason is that I’m sleeping on a more random “schedule” than typical – which tends to make me lose track of the passing of time.

So, I’m just going to go ahead and assume that the pollen count will NEVER go down low enough, for long enough, to make me feel better. This is my new “normal” and it sucks.

Still mostly nocturnal – trying to get writing work done before the sun comes up and makes the plants fill the air with pollen.
Still sleeping through most of the afternoon
Woke up with eye pain again. I have something I can take to make the pain go away. Would be better if the pollen count didn’t affect my allergies so badly – while I am sleeping – that I end up with eye pain.
I’m never quite right after waking up with eye pain.
Not sure if I’m tired of writing these little “captain’s log” posts about Spring Pollen Season 2017 – or if I’m just plain TIRED of pollen season itself.
Today’s pollen count is 10.1 – a very high number that probably is affecting people who don’t even have pollen allergies.
I started my day with half a Benadryl, which didn’t even touch my symptoms.
Fell asleep and woke up with eye pain – the WORST symptom I get during pollen season. Waking up with eye pain is exhausting because pain is exhausting and messes me up for the rest of the day.
The plan was to go grocery shopping today. Maybe I can try after the sun goes down? Signs point to “no”.
This needs to end. I think it would be mentally easier to cope with Spring Pollen Season if I knew, for certain, when it would end.
