What the Juniper

It is pretty late and I really, really want to be asleep right now. We just got back from a trip to AZ with our trailer and I should be enjoying my nice cozy bed right about now. But, noooo. I can't lay down or I will loose the ability to breathe through my nose and I absolutely cannot sleep with my mouth open. It makes me have dreams that I am eating sand and no one will give me a glass of water. This time of year is my worst for allergy season. It is the Juniper trees that do me in and we are not in short supply of them. I have been taking 1 kind of 24 hour acting pill in the morning, a different kind at night, lots and lots of nasal decongestant (which I have to sign away my life to get for a whopping 2.50 a box) and lots of nasal spray and a fair amount of headache medicine laced with caffeine to help with my head feeling like it is going to explode.

I am a complete wreck, I tell ya. What's worse is this sexy little strip I have across my nose to coax my nasal passage into working properly ~ note: extreme amount of sarcasm. The strip itself is bad enough but then you take an already rather bulbous nose and add that and your nose ends up looking like a balloon stuck on your face. These little devises really are heaven sent and I do love them, but....they don't exactly do anything for my attractability. It was bad enough before crawling into bed with my make-up free face, glasses and a rather attractive splint in my mouth. Now I get to add a nose strip attached to my drippy, stuffy nose. Yowza! So I am hoping to write into the nose strip people and make a rather impassioned plea to please consider making the strips in some sexy animal prints. They've gotta help a girl out. I am lucky that I haven't been kicked out of the bedroom yet for inducing scary dreams.

Ooooh, I think I have achieved the proper amount of airflow to try laying down again......fingers crossed.
