Not feeling as miserable as yesterday, but that’s not really saying a ton. I was hoping I’d be up to biking, but I decided to call Meow for a ride. Didn’t get to sleep till midnight and woke up between 3-4 again last night, but I’m not actually terribly tired today. Been doing the ice pack on the head thing to deal with my headache. I might make some more of these to keep at work too.
Anyway, I am feeling somewhat better today. Took the claritin again and my nose isn’t going as crazy as it was. And no tar fumes today, yay!
My dad is coming tomorrow so it’ll be really nice to see him. He’s bringing his old monitor too so I can hook up my old computers and get the data off them.

Feeling waaaaay better today. Only 15 minutes late. Dad is coming tonight too, so having dinner and getting to spend some time with him is good.
I was already slowly feeling better. Monday & Tuesday were the worst. And between my nasacort, and taking the claritin-d knock off tues & wednesday, and the singulair (for asthma but also can help with allergies) last night, I’d be worried if I didn’t feel better. I’m still stuffed up and my eyes feel weird. Not quite itchy, but not all the way better either. Coughing or sneezing every once in a while. All the outright pain stuff is gone though thankfully.
Plus he gave me a prescription for some over the counter lotion to help with the bumps on my arms that I get into picking at. So I’m taking a two pronged approach to that. Trying to follow my therapist’s advice, but also reducing what usually triggers it to start in the first place physically. Nice of him to prescribe it so maybe insurance covers it, or if not it should at least be able to come out of my HCRA, though I’ll double check first.
Actually getting a lot of work done today. And the upside to the loss of appetite with the allergy attack is I’m finally down to 140! 5lbs to go and I’m back in my normal range and can hopefully fit into all my pants again. Yay! I’m already fitting back into some of them, but I haven’t tried some of the snugger ones yet.
I try the snug ones every 5-10 pounds. I don’t really care if I get back to my old weight as long as I fit into my pants again.
And I actually managed to bike back here and go to dance class last night and bike home, so I got some exercise in.
I’m sooooooooooooooo looking forward to pizza tonight with dad.
I want to go camping though, I haven’t been in ages.
I used to have pizza pockets and stuff ALL the time but between trying to lose weight and eat healthier and dating my pirate I haven’t had a really good pizza in a while.
I just read this thing today on pizza baking:

Head is all achy, I might go home early if dad gets there soon.
So nice to bike home in the daylight and spend more time with papa.
