My De-Allergen-izer
What's that you say? Well, if you have an old bra strap, a scrap piece of fabric from some old warm up pants, a couple of safety pins, and a husband who has the genius and skill equivalence of Macgyver... Well, you can have one too! A de-allergen-izer. (I made that name up).
So today was easily the worst allergy day I've had so far this year. And it was awful. In more ways than one. I sneezed a lot. So much that my chest started hurting. My nose itched a lot. And drove me crazy.
Let me say, this did not do good things for my mood. I was definitely a grumpster today. And I dare say my {bad} mood was catching. Until early afternoon when my husband (with his Macgyver-like skills) decided there had to be some way to help me. Probably he was just hoping for a less grumpy wife. So he disappeared into our bedroom and got into his scrap fabric stuff. And then he brought me this. And I put it on.
And I don't care how ridiculous (or ghetto-fabulous) I looked.... It worked! I could actually breathe -- through my nose! -- and not sneeze my head off. And yes, my mood improved.
Granted, I won't wear it in public... But every day I'm home and feel the allergies creeping in... You can bet I'll be donning this gem.
What are you grateful for today?

That's awesome! My allergies have been terrible, so much that my eyes burn and I want to scratch my eyeballs out. I have sores on the back of my throat from itching and I can't stop complaining myself. To my husband none-the-less. :) Zyrtec has always been great for my allergies in the past, but I'm afraid it's just not cutting it any more. :(
