What the Heck is Going On?

Posted by Nuzzling Muzzles

I would swear that I have been sick every other day, occasionally two days in a row for the past several months.  Either I have some disease and am dying, or it's allergies -- and this is the world's longest allergy season.  My ongoing symptoms include headaches, a dripping nose, nausea, chills, lethargy, diarrhea, insomnia, and difficulty walking.  How bizarre it that?

I stopped drinking milk, but really wanted something to pour on some cereal, so I tried both Silk Original and Silk Vanilla and nearly puked.  Drinking soy just doesn't cut it for me.  I found Lactaid to be a good substitute, because it still tastes like milk minus the lactose.  However, as soon as I started pouring Lactaid on my cereal, the cramps and diarrhea started up again.  Apparently, I'm milk-intolerant, not just lactose-intolerant.

I suspect the sinus part of my allergies is mostly due to blooming sagebrush, which only lasted for a couple of weeks in years past, but for some reason has lasted for several months this year.  If I could move out of Nevada, that would solve that problem.  I've been waiting for a check from the life insurance company, so I can fix up this house and move, only to be denied the money.  Why?  Because my mother's cause of death was undetermined.  I thought people die of natural causes every day and the exact cause is undetermined, but their loved ones can still collect on the insurance.

Corporate greed strikes again... and so does my depression.  Every day I wake up with more symptoms of who knows what and get more bad news from people who seem set on making my life more difficult.  Sometimes the only self-defense is to just not care anymore.
