Seeing the world in fuzz.

I’m not allergic to many things.  Usually it’ll be dust that gets to me, but there’s this one sucker called the bottlebrush tree that I’ve been allergic to since I touched it back when I was 4. Most of you have probably seen it lining sidewalks.  I avoid them like it’s the bubonic plague.

This is the culprit…



If I touch it I’ll get a rash all over my hands, if I breathe in the pollen I’ll develop an ongoing headache for days, have a runny nose, maybe a fever, and the WORST, blurred vision.  My vision will be blurry for around 4-5 days.

So I've been sort of blind.  I took my hardcore allergy medication, which got rid of the congestion, but the doctor says I can't do anything about the blurriness.  I've been wearing my mom's reading glasses when I have to read something, which helps a little, but makes me dizzy after a while.  I'm wearing them right now and they make me look nerdy.

Yesterday I was driving like 5 miles an hour today b/c I didn’t have anyone to drive me.  And I’ve been typing ultra huge too b/c I can’t read the dialogue in AIM….

My mom had to drive me to work today. Haha

Kinda scary isn’t it?  It’s weird but I think I’m used to getting this by now.

*Sigh*
