Could I Buy Some Healthy Air Please?
As my friend Ted McCarthy would say, "I'm not a complainer but.."
I've been sick for almost a week. I went to the doc, because I could have sworn I had strep throat. My throat is so flipping raw. It hurts to swallow and I've been popping ibuprofen every four hours, to no avail.
The doc said that it's not the flu and it's not strep. It's my allergies. Unfortunately, Phoenix is not conducive to my health. When I went to the allergist a few years ago he said, "You can take medicine or move but you'll always have problems living here."
Sometimes my allergies get so bad that I have problems breathing -- my chest feels really heavy. At first my allergist thought I might have asthma, but it's not that. It's just that I'm allergic to a lot of things that bloom here in the Valley.
When you add terrible pollution and the fact that we haven't had rain in 4 months to wash away the crap, it's a horrible combination. So I'm not supposed to go outside until I get better. Maybe I could borrow the bubble boy's equipment for rugby practice.
The only mitigating circumstance in all of this is I've got a sexy boyfriend who doesn't mind staying indoors with me. =-D

You can always take a trip up to Massachusettes and hydrate yourself! We've had miserable rain all day.

I would *so* move. Being sick is the worst. I'm thirsty just thinking of how dry it must be there....

Allergies are the DEVIL! I have always been plagued, and it seems that since I moved to ATL 5 years ago, it has progressively gotten worse.
My doctor said the same thing, and actually had clients move because it was so bad. I just don't want to be on a continual drug, so i guess I am a glutton for punishment!
