Allergy Season!

Its not here yet. We've been getting quite a bit of snow lately. But I have started my pre-season treatments. They have created an interesting dilemma. They put me to sleep. Something about injecting with pollens makes me sleep. Maybe I just need to time this better. They sure knock me out. Worth it though. I can't imagine doing through a spring without my shots. It's bad enough with my shots. My allergies are definitely one of my biggest concerns about moving to the coast. In more temperate climates, I suspect I will have allergic reactions much more frequently. I'll be constantly on meds. I think it'll be worth it though, for the nicer weather.

Due to demand, I'll look into posting a version of my assignment here for people to try out. It's definitely not perfect. I should have started working on it earlier than I did. I think over the summer, or maybe after Project Instant Ramen (the code name for Monoclesoft's current project) is done, I'll come back to it, and improve it. I'd love to get it more so to a quality product I am willing to use to supplement my resume for job apps to the industry. Although with the economy the way it is, the Games industry seems to be laying people off left and right, so that may hinder my chances there. You never know until you try though.

So I'm in the process of correcting my sleep schedule still. I really need to just buckle down, and re-adapt the the changes I want to make. I'm been getting to work between 7:30 and 9 ish, which takes a lot of the pressure off in the morning, which has turned into me sleeping in more regularly. I really need to be very rigid with my schedule for a bit to correct this. Hopefully as weather warms up, I can go outsied more, which will help provide more tasks I can work on. I'll keep you updated with how that all pans out.

Hey--my husband had terrible hay fever / allergies until we tried local honey. It must be honey made as close to where you live as possible; take 2-3 tablespoons of it every day, starting several weeks before your allergies usually kick in. (My husband takes it nearly year-round now, actually. He's been doing it three years, and went from being sick in bed all spring and half the summer, to barely getting a sniffle.)

Luck!

Interesting. I currently get allergy shots that start with low dosages, and build up to stronger, until I build up more immunities. That local fresh honey solution probably works much the same way. I'll have to research to see if I can find any honey producers nearby. Climate isn't great for it, but maybe I can find something.

Just an FYI if you didn't already know... Screwloose's parents are bee-keepers just outside of town.
