I am tired.

My seasonal allergies seem to have found a strong hold on me this week. If its anything like the past two years, every time it is cloudy and rainy, any dampness at all and I will be bagged and this year that's everyday. Not much sunshine going on here.

That and work has kicked into high gear. I have been very busy, which is absolutely fabulous, but I am feeling it.

I went to bed and pretty much straight to sleep at 8:30 last night. I slept straight through to my alarm clock at 6 this morning and I still feel bagged. That's the allergies, I know. Tonight I am going to take it easy again, hit the hay relatively early and since tomorrow is Saturday, I am going to sleep until I have to wet the bed.

I also have to start eating better. I have been really lax on my diet the past two months. I've been eating out much too much and not getting enough fruits and veggies. I tend to eat bad when I eat out. I feel as if it is a treat to eat out, so therefore I can treat myself to what I want and I don't have to stick to what's good for me. AND MORE WATER, LESS COFFEE. When I am tired I drink more coffee, which dehydrates me which makes me tired which triggers more coffee. It is a bad cycle and hard for me to break because I love coffee. The stronger the better.

And exercise. I have not been doing my share. I get more at my new job, the washroom and coffee room are at the opposite end of the building from my office and the office is at least 4 times as big as my previous job, so I know I am moving around more during the day. But I also know that's not enough. I need to get on my bike again or at least start walking the dogs a couple times a week. But my allergies drag me down and I just want to go to bed...

Do you want to treat yourself tonight? We can wrap up early as I know the being bagged feeling. Let me know...N PS:maybe we should go for a walk after dinner?

I forgot how nice it was to not have my allergies while I was preggo -the hormones must have had something to do with it, now I'm sneezing all the time. Fortunately Theya thinks sneezes are hilarious.

Yeah, even on antihistamines I am stuffed up and sneezing, and end up with itchy eyes and breathing issues.

When I got tested, I was told I was basically allergic to all animals, most trees (pollen) and a few seafood items. Fortunately I don't like seafood, unfortunately I love nature and "aminals".

Hormones, eh???

Yah Hey ?!?

While I was prego, I didn't have any allegic reations to eating oranges - and man did I crave them!! I think my body must have stored my reactions up cause since the delivery, my hand has been one big rash. Just when I thought I was getting it under control, I get all stressed out or come into contact with something that would irrate and it would flare up again. It will be two years on the 26th!!

Don't have the cash for that!

I just noticed how my symptoms get better at the beggining of my period, and start up again towards the end (which is right now, for all you noseys!!!)...

Chair just had Theya almost a year ago, and you're already pointing out who's next????

Why not Chair again!

yeah yeah, whatever y'all.

Right now I'm more inclined to tie J up and bring him in for a vasectomy than I am to get myself knocked up again. Nevermind that T was difficult in the beginning (she is PURE fun now) and I have to go back to work, T is soooo freakishly amazing, it's impossible for me to imagine that any other child we could have would come close to her and I would feel bad for liking T more.
