It was boiling hot and completely humid this morning with a very overcast sky - the sort of weather that you know is going to errupt into a giant thunderstorm at any moment. We did a few more tasks around the house (of course!) and then nipped out to get some bits and bobs. Stopped at DQ for a 'MooLatte' - their version of an iced cappucino. Of course it is far more unhealthy than your average iced cap... made with DQ ice cream and utterly delicious. I can see I may have to revisit very soon. On the way back the heavens errupted and thunder and lightning ensued. G was pleased as it got him out of weeding and mowing the lawn, but it has meant we've been stuck indoors for the rest of the day which is on the dull side (despite having plenty of chores to do).
My back is really sore, I'm finding that once I get into bed at night .. when I get up (as I frequently have to do, joy of pregnancy) I can barely walk. A couple of Tylenol help, but I'd rather not take the drugs if I can avoid them. Roll on next massage. Also getting fed up with this endless cold/cough and will raise it with my OB on Thursday. Suspect it could well be allergies, but seeing as I've never really had them before I don't know if they are likely to spring up out of nowhere or could be pregnancy related or what. Anyway, it's beginning to be a trial to need to blow ones nose every 5 mins, and the cough is very icky.
Posted by katie at July 4, 2004 06:53 PMAllergies do sometimes appear out of pretty much nowhere. Mine started when I was around 10. My mother never had them until she was in her 30s or 40s, and it's not that she moved to a place that had new things to bother her - she'd lived in the same place in Brampton for a few years by then, and had previously lived in Toronto for several years (and trust me on this, if you have seasonal allergies in one of those two cities, you'll have 'em in the other).
The good news is that they can also go away on their own. I don't think mom's had allergy problems for a good many years now, and mine aren't as bad as they used to be (some of it may have to do with the allergy pills I take but I don't think that fully explains it).
