Seasonal Allergies Can Bite Me!

Hello all! I'm Michelle Houston, the sub guest for the week. : ) Hopefully the planned guest will be feeling better soon. Some of you might remember me from my guest post, way back when the topic was Spring.

I find today's topic all too fitting given that, like Helen and some of the others, I have been ill for the last few weeks. I suffer from "seasonal allergies", some of which are summer ones, others are spring, still others are fall, and then there are some winter ones too.

I remember when I got married, hubby and I promised the whole love, honor and cherish part, nixing the "obey", although I wanted to sub in "promise to do strange and interesting things to your body" but I felt that it wasn't the best idea. We also did the in sickness and in health, I just didn't know that I was in sickness and he was in health. The man never gets sick. Me, I spend about one week every four ill.

The good part though, I don't tend to get strep, the flu, or even colds for the most part. The not so good part, I make up for it with Bronchitus, Sinusitis, and Pnemounia, with the occasional ear infection just for good measure. Basically, anything that allergies can lead to, I suffer from. I just finished up round two of my antibitics a few days ago and I am thankfully cleared up, but I woke up today with a sinus headache. I am really hoping not to start the whole process over again.

As a mom, a wife, working two jobs, writing, and attending college full time I generally have so many things on the burners it is amazing I haven't set the house on fire. : )

Sadly, when I am not feeling well, the writing part of my life is the first to go. But I do have some things on the burner that I am hoping to get back to soon. Provided I survive my "Thanksgiving vacation", which the college has added two days to, so that we have the whole week off, and my professors take it as a person challenge to fill every minute of.

So cross your fingers for me that the house doesn't burn down around me this week and that next I am still feeling well. Cause baby, have I got some ideas. And I am edgy to write. : ) Don't worry though, you will be hearing more from me soon, but I will have to fill you in about all of that later.

Until then, take care and safe health.
