Charcuterie Platters. Have had four of these in the last week and each was better than the last. Gods bless fancy meats cheeses and pickles, especially with craft beer.

Been raining all day, which means a day of much needed respite from the hayfever. Last week was HELL.

Also, only an hour left at work for today :ermm:

I don't suppose any medicine works for your hayfever?

I have dust and pollen allergy which eats most antihistamines for breakfast. Season change is like a firing squad for me

Pretty much. I'm allergic to pollen of pretty much any kind by now (and as a consequence of not getting proper treatment - see below - also to a bunch of fruit and veggies), it seems, but I do not know for sure because the only doctor specializing in allergies in my area refused to test me (no kidding), but without the test I cannot prove it and thus can't get the medications that needs a prescription, but is - supposedly - better than the stuff I can get at the pharmacy without prescription.

I used to only be allergic to tree pollen, had treatment for that and it got better. Then, last year, I noticed that I was STILL reacting after the trees were done blooming. So I went to the doc and asked to get tested anew, but got told they wouldn't do that because my last test had been two years ago and obviously, nothing is likely to have changed (yeah, right), so I'm probably just imagining and please come back when your yearly expensive as hell anti-tree pollen shots are due.
Right, so THIS year I am - not-too-surpisingly - reacting to at the very least all kinds of grass pollen as well and have no access to treatment because apparently I'm 'imagining' that. Since roughly halfway through April, I have slept maybe five nights without waking up upwards from four times due to either violent sneezing or getting no air. I'm just glad the whole mess had the courtesy to wait until I graduated. I started sneezing the next day. But I must be imagining the blood coming out of my nose and the sore throat due to only being able to breathe through my mouth for hours at a time :ermm:

My calendar tells me this may continue well into August. At which point I already have an appointment with another doctor further away, but hopefully more concerned with her patients and less with money. At the very least I can finally get tested again.

Whoah you really need to change your doctor. That or move to the South Pole.

I have found that most non -allergic people don't understand these sneezes . I have been told that a couple of sneezes are nothing to take a day off on. An hours worth of sneezing usually lays me out . Your situation seems way way worse. Hope it works out.

Finished the chapter in my book last night which had caused me to take a one-month sabbatical from writing (the end scene was fucking awful to do, but I felt it was necessary for character progression). Very glad that's done (although it's still pending continuity edits).

I'm now projecting a finish time of late 2016, so once that's done... Well. We'll see!

South Pole.. my dream habitat :ermm:

But yeah, it's always a challenge to make people who have no allergies understand that yes, they CAN keep one from doing some thing, and no, it's NOT just some sneezing.

Back from Sdcc, overall great trip!

Missed hall H do the plane issues, but got to see vikings and ash vs the evil dead panels. Bruce Campbell is out of control. Met some cool folks from other forums Irl.. And landed some rad stuff.

Going again next year. Confirmed!

My girlfriend. She is superbusy, her locality continues to be waterlogged from the recent rain, but she still made time to come and see me and stay with me for a couple of hours as I am home sick.

Sometimes i think I take her for granted. I need to stop doing that.

Agreed.

Also, Flowers on random days. Trust a married guy who gets props for doing this on random Tuesday nights for no reason whatsoever.

This. This will actually work, I think. She loves chocolate, after I persuade her it wont make her fat.
