we were in oregon more than a week. in that whole time i was a little sneezy, but not stuffed up or anything. my face/head/nose/eyes weren't swollen, i could breathe pretty normally, and i was generally fine.

after just one day back in virginia beach i was stuffed up, runny nosed, sneezing, coughing... my eyes, ears, and nose all swollen. my whole head hurt. generally feeling like someone needs to put me out of my misery.

i am definitely allergic to something in this house.

what do you do when taking a sick day is likely to actually make you worse?
