Spring Pollen Season – Day Thirty-Seven

Today’s pollen count was 7.2, which isn’t good for me but is heading in the right direction. I need about two weeks straight of the pollen count being 6 or lower before I can get better.

It rained a little bit today, on and off, which also provided intermittent help.

Spring Pollen Season – Day Thirty-Six

The pollen count is 7.4, which isn’t good for me. It’s better than the nine previous days (where the pollen count was between 9.0 and 10.4).

Mother Nature took pity on me and allowed a reasonable amount of rain to fall. She knocked some pollen out of the air for me, and I am breathing a bit better than I have been.

The pollen count today is 9.5, which is only a teeny tiny bit better than yesterday’s 9.8.  I guess.  I mean, I’m not experiencing any noticeable benefit.

It is literally too dangerous for me to go outside.

Question for anyone reading this.  Have you ever been sick for 30 days/ an entire month?  I figure this is not very common, even among people with allergies.

The instant the sun came up I started sneezing, having a runny nose, having a severely unhappy digestive system, and bad joint pain.

The cumulative effects of the pollen – for the past month – are becoming devastating.

Spring Pollen Season – Day Twenty-Eight

Once again, I worked through the night and went to sleep when the sun came up and my eyes started itching.

Today’s 9.3 isn’t noticeably better than yesterday’s 9.4.

I slept for twelve hours straight and would have slept more if my husband hadn’t woken me up for dinner.
