Little better

I'm a little better today.

Yesterday I felt well enough to go to the store and get some stronger medicine. I had been using claritin which usually works for my regular allergies, but this was a real bad allergy attack because of the smoke from the fires that have filled up our valley like a gigantic punch bowl. The pollen count has been especially high and grasses mostly. I have hay fever.

Oh yes, mowing the lawn was a b-a-a-d idea.

But I had too, because no one else was going to do it. Then I ended up with a major allergy and asthma attack and I couldn't breath, sleep, or see (allergy eyes).

SO I decided I need the strong stuff. I bought claritin-D. I had to sign for it and show my ID even though it is an over the counter medicine.

There are these new rules because apparently you can make meth out of it.

Me make meth?

I wouldn't know what the stuff was if you showed it to me.
