In the wee hours of the morning, I attempted to plan ahead. I was trying to get as much work done as possible before the sun came up and the pollen started spewing through the air.
I chose this moment to do an experiment. In the past, I’ve had odd reactions to coconut, once from coconut water and once from coconut in soap. Was it really an allergy? It was time to find out.
After two days of the pollen count at 7.8, it has jumped up to 8.1 today.
It was good we spent the last of our energy yesterday on obtaining enough provisions to sustain us for a week.
The “bug” my husband caught is still plaguing him. The pollen typically doesn’t affect him much, but it might today since it is so high and he is unwell.
I slept for a remarkable number of hours again, and woke up very sick. My eyes are itching. Fortunately, we have remedies for that.
My husband reminded me that today is the Valentine day. This custom is not one we celebrate, but the locals here clearly feel it is very important to participate in.
The pollen count is 7.8 for two days in a row.
I have slept a ridiculous amount of hours in a row, and my husband is sick with some kind of coughing “bug”.
We are out of provisions and too sick to obtain more right now. Thankfully, my husband braved the pollen count and brought home a meal for us.
After about a week of mostly rainy days, the sun has decided come out.
ALL the plants are spewing pollen like mad, trying to make up for what the rain took out of the air.
