Good weekend, bad allergies
Feeling horrible right now. My allergies are making me miserable. I have tons of sinus pressure, runny nose, and overall just crappiness going on. It's especially fun that I've already taken Benadryl, and the only effect of it I am feeling right now is drowsiness. No allergies clearing up. WTF.
I don't want to just complain in this entry, though - I have had a good weekend so far. Yesterday I spent the day rocking out with Rudy and Shannon playing Rock Band, haha. It was pretty fun. We won a tour bus! :P
And today I went with Adam out to Sunset Boulders in Bodega Bay to go rock climbing. It was fun, and I did three and a half climbs before I my hands and arms gave out. One semi-easy one, one really challenging one, one really easy one, and then another semi-easy one that I stopped climbing partway through. It was SUPER gusty towards the time when we left, though, and I was having pretty bad allergies all day. Adam also got bad allergies towards the end of the day, so we left feeling kinda miserable, but at least we had fun while we were there. There were other friendly climbers there who shared ropes with us, so that was cool. Afterwards I treated Adam to dinner since he took me rock climbing (he drove and he's the one with the major rock climbing gear - I just have shoes, harness, carabiner and belay device thingy). We went back to his place after that to see if he could wire my new stereo in my car for me, to find out that the fuse to my stereo was busted, so we went on a fuse hunt... and epically failed to find fuses. It was sad. And then right after we gave up and I decided to just find the fuse somewhere by Tuesday evening and just have him finish it up before the dance on Tuesday, I had to get gas and so I checked at the gas station... and there they were. Close to his house, too. Oh, well. He was feeling crappy still, so it was best that we both just go home and try to recover and rest.
Not sure yet what Rudy and I are doing for the 4th. We're kind of hoping to find friends to hang out with, like go bowling or mini golfing or something fun. We probably won't see fireworks, since it'd be too much of a headache to try to wade through the traffic and crowds, and we've planned to go dancing tomorrow night, anyway. I don't care much what we end up doing during the day, though... I'm kinda beat from all the stuff I did today, so even if we just hang out in Golden Gate Park and look at the botanical gardens or something, that's fine.
I hope that all of you have a great 4th (at least those of you who would celebrate it)! :)
ETA 11:30 PM: I may just be getting desperate enough to use my NeilMed nasal rinse. :( I hate using it so much, but my nose refuses to cooperate with my plans of sleeping tonight. *sigh*
ETA 12:24 PM: Used my NielMed nasal rinse, and it was pretty fun. *sarcasm* It went just about how it went the first time I used it - my nose/sinuses felt better for about five minutes, and then I went back to the runny nose/sneezing I had been experiencing before. Now I have one side of my nose clogged up for some random reason (usually it just happens when I'm lying down on one side in bed), and still feeling shitty. I just took two Sudafeds and one more Benadryl to see if it will do anything. I may not sleep tonight.
