The Allergy Season Is Upon Me....

My allergies are killing me!
I woke up this morning, took a Claritin (preventative, I might add!), put allergy eye drops in,  hopped in the shower, and started to get ready.  Somethings blooming around here (and yeah, it was 32 degrees Saturday) and it’s kicking my butt.
First....makeup, then hair.
I was just finishing with my hair when it started.  My left eye went  crazy, watering.
Makeup, and all, melted down to my chin.
Did I say it hurt?
It hurt.
So, I wash my eye.  Now, I’m really looking good.  Like one of those before and after commercials.  One side, completely made up, the other, looking like crap.
My eye quits watering.
I start over on that eye....eye shadow, little bit of liner, little bit of mascara.  I don’t wear that much makeup, people.
I get up to get dressed, and here it all goes again.  PLUS my eye starts swelling.  I run to the sink, take it all off, and ThatManILove grabs an ice pack.  
I lay down on the bed, with the ice pack over my eye.
Finally, about an hour later, I’m able to get out of the house with some semblance of being “put together.”
My eye’s still watering.  I’ve taken my second dose of allergy medicine, which, by the way, gives me a headache.
There might be something to be said for the frozen tundra and the lack of allergies thereof.
