Sat Here Crying My Eyes Out!!!
Tears are streaming down my face - and to make it worse I'm at work!!!
How embarrassing?!
Then again, even riding my bike lately the tears have been blurring my vision...
No, nobody has been shitting in my porridge, and I'm not having to give my landlady sexual pleasures like the bloke in 'Kingpin' - it's Hayfever!
I can't really say that I 'suffer' with it - just a few sneezes and itchy, watery eyes. Also, it seems to be completely random as to whether I get it one year or not. More often than not, it doesn't affect me in the slightest, but this year it is.
Personally, I think this may well be God getting back at me.
You see, when I was at school, I would often fake hayfever so that I didn't have to do certain P.E. activities on the school field - like cross-country running. I -ing hated that!
The problem with it not being all that severe, is do I get some tablets for it or not?
I don't like taking medication for anything if I can possibly avoid it, and a lot of the hayfever tablets seem to make you drowsy. I rely on keeping myself entertained at work to make my job standable at the best of times, but I think that perhaps riding a sportsbike in a 'drowsy' state could also be a Bad Idea.
Plus the cost!!!
Piriton is about £400 per tablet, and even the cheap packs are neary a quid!!! For SEVEN -ing tablets!!! Rip. Off.
I actually caved today and bought some non-drowsy tabs, so we'll see how that goes...
And what is it about tablets? These things are tiny - about the size of a small airgun pellet, or a decent blob of ear wax. Teeny-tiny itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny shrivelled little short dick man - no wait! That was a song! Where was I? Oh yes...
But even these tablets, you put them in your mouth and CAN NOT SWALLOW IT!!!
You give up and reach for the water to swill it down, and wonder why the hell you can't swallow it without the aid of something to drink?!
I mean, a few hours before, I was chomping off huge chunks of dry, spiky bagguette. No problem. Biting off chunks bigger than my head and down the hatch they go. No water, no fuss.
So how the hell can I then struggle to swallow a tablet that was about 50 times smaller than each and every mouthful of bagguette???
Someone has also said that eating locally made honey could help. I can see the sense in this, as the same antihistamines are in the honey as the ones bringing on the hayfever, so the body can build up a resistance to it. But which 'local' honey do I get?
The one local to my work or the one local to my house?
I haven't touched honey for years, and now I can see myself ending up looking like the -ing Honey Monster!
Good excuse to eat honey again though!
Is anyone else suffering this year???
