Baby Feet
AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Once again, my allergies are kicking the crap out of me! (Why I had a respite yesterday, I will never understand. Not that it's problematic, mind you, I was happy to be able to breathe.) The thing that's really irking me is that I keep finding conflicting information about what I can take for allergy relief. One site says Bendaryl is okay. Another says it leads to cleft palates, take Chlor-Trimeton. Another says Sudafed is okay, but the flyer I have from the clinic says, in bold, capital letters "DO NOT TAKE DURING FIRST THREE MONTHS OF PREGNANCY." But that flyer doesn't even mention Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton.

And, of course, the clinic doesn't open for another hour, so I can't even call to ask until then. And then wait to hear back from a nurse. Wahh!!! In the meantime, I get to try not to drown.

Also, today is the 3rd anniversary of Chris's dad passing away. We're going to Ham Lake after I get off work this afternoon to spend the evening with his family. I have a feeling it's going to be a bit awkward for me, considering the fact that Chris and I had broken up and lost contact before David was diagnosed with cancer and didn't get back in touch until 6 months after he'd passed. And the fact that David wasn't very fond of me and left no question in Chris's mind about that after we'd broken up. Do I harbor animosity about that? Yeah. A little bit. David thought Lindsey was wonderful and that I was trash. But who put on a huge act around Chris's parents? Wasn't me. I was very reserved around them, but never was untrue to myself. Blech.

Time to go open a fresh box of Kleenex...

If you're all stuffed up, you might try either a very high-peppermint oil content mint (Altoids, or some of that kickass Everest gum, which will burn the shit out of your tongue for the first few seconds but clear your sinuses right up), or something topical - like carrying around a jar of Vicks and just sniffing at it every few minutes.
