a little wallowing. and a thanks too.

your recent comments have been so wonderful and put a smile on my little face.
lately i've been dealing with severe allergies. severe severe allergies. i've had them since i was a kid, so i'm no stranger to pretty much every symptom that goes along with that- including eyes that swell shut. 
but living in kansas has made things even worse. my asthma is out of control and i've been sleeping at least 11 hours a day, and if i'm not at work i'm wallowing on the couch. 

and it's been miserable.

if i was a normal person i would have realized that being this miserable isn't normal for anyone, but i've just grown to expect it so my whole base frame-of-reference is off. but this week i reached my breaking point and made a doctors appointment.
so after a steroid shot, two new inhalers with increased potency, and an additional pill prescription, i am very hopeful that i will be feeling like a normal human being again. {although it might all just be too good to be true}

anyway, i'm taking the night off and basking in kansas football and my newest craft obsession {which i promise to reveal soon!}

so again, thank you all so much for all your wonderful kindess! i really needed it :)

  3. I'm so glad you went to the doctors -- there's really nothing worse that being constantly out of sorts. Last year I developed an allergy to my cats. I was SO miserable all the time and had trouble sleeping. And I didn't do a thing for months. It's much better to be proactive and get some normalcy back (even if means a shot and another pill).

  6. oh allergies are awful! i'm severely allergic to corn and all corn-related products (which are in EVERYTHING in america). when i was young and getting allergies i thought i had done something mean to the earth, like stepped on it wrong, and it was getting revenge on me. i hope you and kansas can find a way to be happy together!
