Rudolph

Well it has happened. It is in full swing, there is no turning back. There is no peace to be had. It is not going away any time soon. What you are asking, what is my attack of the allergies. I have now developed the red nose. The red nose that will be a fixture on my face for the next several months. I had successfull fought it off for the last two days but today there was no preventing it. I have sneezed all day long.

I have sneezed and blown my nose so much that I had to fight my co-workers off with the cans of Lysol. I was on the verge of being attacked and had to yell for my life that it was an allergy issue. Once that declaration was made I then had to inform everyone that there was no more need to bless me after every sneeze. If they felt so inclined one an hour would do. After all there is work to be done. Thank goodness that is out of the way or the spray down with Lysol would have only made matters worse, a lot worse. I could kill the fella who invented flower scented Lysol. Honestly.

If you are ever wanting to go on a walk late at night and need a light, give me a call. You will get full blown sound effects with the walk as I will blow and sniff my way down the path but hey the glow of the nose will guide you well.

I went to Whole Foods today to pick up an obscenely large jar of honey so I can again begin my tablespoon a day routine. They were out. Not out of honey of coarse but out of honey from my area. They had plenty of honey from Omaha, Denver, Pratt Kansas and various other locations not in my bee pollen world. How stinkin hard is it to get honey from your local area. They use to carry these wonderful jars from Coopers Honey in Peculiar, Mo. See Peculiar is one town next to us. Same flowers, same bee wonderful allergy honey. Now I have wasted one lunch hour and bought stuff I did not need from Whole Foods and still have to go to the store tonight. I rather not go directly to the Coopers house as the very kind woman will trap me there for hours discussing all the most wonderful things I could do with honey outside of putting it in a spoon and downing it in the morning. Less conversation more selling lady! Well now that I have vented about that I have to say I feel much better eating my dried apricots right now.

Ok off to pop another Allegra and sniff some wonderful drugs up my nose. Ah the joys of spring. Oh carry on about how happy you are to plant your flowers and mow your pollen ridden grass. If you could just pass me a tissue or two I will be right here.....
