My allergies have been bothering me something awful, this past week. I’ve resorted to taking OTC allergy medicine during the day. Something I don’t really like to do because it makes me dopey. Dopier. Even if it’s day time non-drowsy formula, I still feel doped up. With the warm weather, and the dopiness, I feel lethargic and completely void of creative thought.
I blame the sunshine. We’ve had record highs in temperature with way way way too much fucking sunshine for my tastes. The longest day of the year was last week. My sleep is all off balance. It’s not good. Summertime, as delightful as it sounds, is not my peak season.
I’m willing to compromise, however. I will let everyone here have their bright sunny days, with cloudless blue skies, if we could just keep it in the mid 70’s? Ok, how about 77? That sounds good, yes? If we could just do that, I’d be ok for a while. But I’m going to need some cloud coverage in the next week or so. Light showers, just a few sprinkles.
Please?
Well, I love the sun and the heat. 90’s, no problem! Rarely happens in the UK though. The last week here has been brutal for allergies as well. My nose/eyes go berserk when the farmers start silaging. Today is the first day in ten that I’ve not taken antihistamines. They make me drowsy, but also very grumpy and forgetful…usually I forget how many I’ve had…ooops.
Well, it’s overcast here. We even had a thundershower this morning, with light rain. We had two other mild thunderstorms, without really any rain twice already, in the last week. Definitely not typical San Diego weather, for this time of year.
It’s still HOT, though. I’d love it to thunder shower all day long, if the temp would stay down. Instead, it’s hot, and now extremely HUMID – yuck! It feels more like the midwest, or the south, than Sunny Southern California.
I will work on it for ya
I’m totally with you on this one. I know that we don’t have the humidity that I left behind on the East Coast, but who cares? Once the temp gets above 90 I’m useless. I go from melting to actually leaking. Ick.
BAH!
river sits and bakes in her arizona heat and thinks us weak, cam. 🙂
Well yeah, Jodi, but it’s a dry heat, doncha know?
