Dear Body,

Nooooo! I am going away tomorrow and I am sick. Not horribly sick, but a mild version of my usual winter crud. I started feeling funny in my throat Monday night. Woke up yesterday with that still there, my eyes itching and my right eye tearing. Another round of the allergic conjunctivitis. My head is "full," but I am not having intense sinus pain, just occasional pain. No sneezing. Came home half dead at 6:45 PM, got in my jammies, ate dinner and went to bed. My stomach is slightly "off," but nothing bad, just the usual I get.
I have been using the over the counter eye drops for the allergic stuff ever since it was prescribed last fall. I also have been doing a tablespoon of ACV and honey in a cup of hot water daily. Restarted Claritin and Nasacort. I had gone back to Flonase, but it just irritates my sinuses. Woke up this morning with the sore throat gone, but the eye thing is driving me nuts. Not itchy, now just tearing in the right eye. A bit achy, stomach is still off, head is still so-so. I don't think I need to go to the doctor or need an antibiotic. Just hoping the eye clears up. Went out this morning to buy food for our stay up in Vermont and got some chicken barley soup at the natural foods store, too. I have an appointment to get my hair cut and colored at 2, and I will *not* cancel that.
It is going to be frigidly cold this weekend, so I am not happy right now. We sometimes do a short ski or snow shoe when we arrive, but I think I will skip that tomorrow.
