I'm allergic to something. I have no clue what. I went through the first twenty-five years or so of my life without allergies, so now when I get the symptoms, I haven't the slightest idea what I'm allergic to. It must be my life in general at the moment, since most of the things going on in my life right now have only caused me a lot of stress and an adverse reaction, even though in the long term, they are really positive things.
When I woke up this morning, I found my left eye barely wanted to open and that it was red and swollen. As the day progressed, it only got worse. I gave up on my contacts, thinking that would help, but have found that wearing my glasses instead hasn't helped a bit. I'm not exactly sure how I've managed to pack, cook, and take care of the girls today, considering that I've spent the better part of the day swiping away the tears that have constantly escaped from my eye and blowing my nose. One thing is for sure -- I'm pretty miserable.
The nice thing about allergies is that they are only temporary (even though they can feel like an eternity at times). The same can be said for most bad things, or low times in your life when you feel like there is no escape. If you have the patience to ride it out, things almost certainly will get better. Just remember, that sometimes, the best and only cure is time.
