Category: Spring Pollen Season 2017

I slept for eleven hours straight.

Woke up exhausted and my sinuses hurting. I have no appetite whatsoever, but am trying to eat something anyway.

I’m falling into a pattern that isn’t making me happy.

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.

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.
