Good morning!

It's truly a misty moisty morning and cloudy is the weather, so with any luck this translates to a relatively low pollen count.

I've recently discovered antihistamine eye drops. On the plus side, they definitely stop my primary symptom. On the down side - and oh, is this ever a down side - I can't actually put stuff in my eyes. (I don't even like holding needles because of "stick a needle in my eye", and I'm aware that this is strange.) Instead I have to have my eyes shut while I cringingly drop it onto my nose and let it sorta make its way into the corner of my eye on its own.
