Allergies

I have 'em. Lots and lots of 'em.

I've been getting allergy shots for about 2.5 years now. I had a check up today with the doctor and I've been "promoted." I only have to go once a month now (instead of every 3 weeks - when I started I was getting shots twice a week). I'm very happy because, honestly, I hate shots. I'd never stop them since breathing is a Good Thing(tm).

Here's my shot breakdown for the curious: 1) cat, dog, tree, grass; 2) mite, mold, weed. The shot giver alternates which arm gets which shot every visit. Tonight both shot sites are tender and itchy.

Yay for year round allergies.

Allergies suck the big one. That's for sure. Thankfully, mine come and go.

Allergies suck a lot. Owning cats again doesn't. My allergist is convinced I'm crazy for having 4 cats but if he knew me better, he'd be less surprised.
