One More Detour on the Writing Road

...are kicking my ass this morning.

Honestly, I'm tempted to take the dryer brush and jam it in my ear right now to ease the itching.

Right side of my throat itches so it hurts. Feels swollen. Why only the right side? At least my nose itches on both sides.

I haven't felt like this for years.

Will be popping benedryl, for which I will pay later in the form of 'if I curl up under my desk, will anyone hear me snore?'

We had a freeze overnight. I hate to say it, but I would willingly/happily/Here! Catch! sacrifice the flowers if whatever is getting to me got wiped out as well.

Jewelry allergies.

I have a nickel allergy. I've always had to be careful when buying earrings. But over the last few years, I've been having problems with rings and bracelets as well, including some I've owned for years that I really like. Is clear nail polish still the best thing for covering contact areas, or is there something better/longer-lasting on the market?
