Down For the Count

Posted by Nuzzling Muzzles

After feeling so much better once milk was cut out of my diet, I had another setback.  I woke up this morning feeling perfectly fine, made a list of everything I wanted to get done during the day, started the first thing on the list, which was working out on the exercise equipment, when all of the sudden I was hit was extreme nausea, a headache, and a runny nose.  It was like someone turned on the faucet and drained my brain.

I took an antihistamine, which promptly put me to sleep, and I lost the majority of the day.  I awoke to nervous dogs who needed to go outside to pee, and very hungry horses.  Once I took care of them, I staggered to the mailboxes and back, and tried to muster up the energy and focus to be able to pay the latest batch of unexpected bills.  Having never owned a home before, I didn't know that the mortgage company sends you bills on top of your monthly payments every once in a while.  I guess that's what happens when governments keep raising taxes -- your original mortgage payment becomes obsolete.  Anyway, upon sitting down I noticed orange sage brush pollen all over my black pants!  Well, that explains why I'm so sick.  I have really got to move out of Nevada.  I'm tired of feeling like I'm dying every September and October.
