So I woke up feeling mostly fine this morning, and I talked to Fran a bit earlier and she was totally fine, so it must have been me. I think the stomach ailment really resulted from my refusing to let her take any of the stuff home with her. That was mean of me, Fran, and I am sorry. (Karma is REAL, people!)

Anyway, I felt ok until about 10:00 this morning, and then I started sneezing non-stop! I've been taking Claritin every night before bed, like clockwork, but the pollen (or something?) in the air today was too much even for the tiny little Claritin OTC tab. And then, a little later, a sinus headache started to brew and I knew I was done for... So I took a Benadryl Allergy & Sinus Headache and a couple hits of Afrin (BEST OTC medicine EVER - so long as you don't over-use it!) and - 10 hours and hundreds of Kleen-Xs later - I am finally starting to improve a bit.

I still feel pretty crummy, though, so as soon as I hit "publish" on this post, I'm getting in bed to do the crossword, read a bit out of Cash, by Johnny Cash, and then get to sleep early... I just can't keep my eyes open! (Damn you, Benadryl, damn you to HELL!)

Heather's got an entertaining post up over at Dooce.com today, though - go visit Heather. Or Mir. Or Betsy. All three of these women are sure to entertain you far better than I will tonight (or ever do, for that matter.)
