I feel like I need to be wearing a big sign in public:
“It’s not COVID, I promise, I tested. It’s allergies.”
Benadryl is solidly on the “no fly” list for me unless my allergies are extremely extreme.
Tonight is one of those situations.
Weird how – if I take it when my allergies are at their absolute worst – instead of making me feel like I’m gonna slip into a Rip Van Winkle type situation, it pretty much just mellows out all the crazy shit going on inside my body and I can finally get a moment of normality.
Yeah. That.
