Allergic to cleaning, for reals
I’m a little under the weather today. I cleaned the living room last night, inhaled the dust off the floor (not on purpose), and woke up at 3am with breathing issues. It has made for a somewhat cranky and brain-loopy day.
Sarah has tried to cheer my up by splitting a can of Pepsi with me. She has a secret stash in her room. I’m not sure if it’s working, but it tastes good.
I just remembered I have a chocolate stash here at my desk. Which I also cleaned off last night, just so I could work.
I’ve also just realized I am sitting here in a t-shirt, the stove is off, and I’m not cold. Methinks winter is probably over. (I’d also like to note I *am* wearing pants as well. Just in case you thought otherwise.)

Hey Andrea. I’m sorry that your allergies have gotten the best of you. Have you ever heard of a neti pot? I used to get chronic sinus infections (due to my allergies) and have not had one in about two years because of my trusty neti pot. It’s worth looking into. The only trick is getting the water at a comfortable temperature, and getting the salt/water balance correct. After that, it’s smooth sailing.

Yikes. Maybe it was the cleaning stuff too? Or do you use baking soda and stuff? I hope you are better today! No more cleaning for you. The kids will have to take over from now on.

In this case, I’m allergic to dust in the sense it brings on a mild asthma attack.
I think I’m going to have to start wearing a mask or something.
