I had an appointment earlier this evening. When it was over (6:00 p.m.), I came to the house and went to the backyard to water the flower garden. After I did that, I decided to sit on my deck for a little bit and take in a bit of the baseball game going on next to me.
I only sat on the deck for a half hour. It was hot out there but that wasn’t the issue. Aside from the heat, after a half hour, my eyes began watering, I began sneezing and coughing and wheezing, and I was a mess. So, I came indoors. The sneezing and coughing continued and then I had a massive nosebleed. These darn allergies! All from a half hour outside.
And the worst part of all of that is that I knew better. Yes. I knew better than to do what I did but I did it anyway. We’ll see what happens to me later this week when I sit outside for hours at the information booth of the festival. I’m not even going to try to predict. I’ll just keep using plenty of eye drops and cough drops.
Mercy!
