allergies and the swine.
the weather has been awfully awkward lately. with rapid temperature changes, from nineties to sixties to eighties to forties, i'm simply unable to keep up.
damn new england weather.
not to mention pollen is e v e r y w h e r e, which is horrible for my allergies. i'm dying. srsly dying. it wasn't that bad until recently. now i'm sniffing up a storm. my nose is all yuck and runny and making my throat all irritated and blegh and blah and guh.
nonetheless, life must go on. i'm just taking loads of medication again, just to try to supress my stupid allergy symptoms.
this morning as i was getting ready for school, sitting in the hall in front of the mirror, messily curling my hair as quick as possible, my nose was all sniffly and runny and yuck. my dad, whose room was behind me, walks by me and into his room, stops, turns around looking at me through the mirror, and grills me for a good minute.
"you're sniffing your nose," he said in his very stern voice.
"yes, why yes i am sniffing my nose."
he pauses before saying anything, watching me continue to take a strand of my hair at a time and roll it around the curling iron. as his eyebrows furrowed, he exclaimed "do you have the swine flu?!"
. . . huh?
i took my hair off the curler, turned around, and stared for a good five seconds.
"allergies. i have allergies." i responded to my dad, dumbfounded. he shrugged his shoulders, turned around into his room.
"allergies might turn to the swine!"
i do not understand his logic.

People are still freaking out about the swine stuff? Geeeeeez. =P
LOL I love the title of this post because this is the first year I've ever had allergies (like a lot of people) and I was like ughh I must be sick because thats what it felt like. Didnt think I had the swine but still it was like freaking everyone out.
haha! he's just being his dad-self!
I feel you, my allergies are killing me right now.
Hehe, that sounds like my dad. He always thinks the worst whenever someone gets sick.
He seems like such a hilarious father :]
swine flu is overrated.
that sounds familiar, pahahaha :) very cute in a paternal way, though.
as for the allergies, i recommend bee pollen. it's this jar you can buy at any supermarket with little balls of...well, bee pollen in it, and if you stir some of the pollen with honey and water and drink it continually, you should eventually get used to it and the allergies will lessen by 99%. the only problem is it isn't an immediate effect, but definitely worth trying. i've drank the stuff for about a year, and i went from insomnia due to allergies and being unable to sleep to not needing medicine or anything at all :)
just a little advice!
LOL :D
Lately, that has been everyones logic.. LOL and wow! that's the same weather here in NYC!
hahha :)
hee hee, always foggy here in Marina
My mom and I always joke around with people when they're sick.
sick person: hey come over here. i need your help.me: HAILLLLLL NO. I don't want the swine flu!
Hahahaha, logic? What logic?
hahaha I do not understand that logic either...
and yeah, this new england weather is killing me! I was just thinking about that last night, maybe I'll move somewhere warm? but I don't want to leave my family!
LMAO
Everyone makes jokes around here about Swine. When someone sneezes on the train, someone else whispers "swine" in a joking manner. It's funny sometimes. But then it gets annoying.
your dad has AWESOME logic....LOL!
Allergies suck!!
One of my friends was getting tested for the swine flu today, but I'm sure that she doesn't have it, and her mom was just being over-protective.
this made me laugh and i seriously needed to laugh :)
