Springtime

Rick is suffering from extreme springtime allergies.

That meant that he came home and showered to get off all the pollen and crud. Took Izzy for a quick swim. Then he sat in his ugly chair and crashed. He didn't even eat.  What that means is I had a night of no harassment. No jokes at my expense. 

He and Izzy were both asleep by 7pm.  I had stereo snoring. I put on my headphones to listen to TV and not either of them. 

At 10p he awoke and said, "I am really tired, I'm going to bed"  

That proclamation made me laugh. I rather figured you were tired when you sat down and instantly fell asleep for the last 3 hrs.   

He is taking so many OTC drugs for his allergies. He is one drippy mess. 
He can't breathe and is just plain miserable. I seriously don't miss that. 

I had severe allergies to the point of all of my 20s I had shots. Then I was just a hot mess and on some drugs but overall nothing helps until it's all gone. I'd rather have a cold or the flu than allergies. Far easier to have those others because they don't last as long as allergies.  Once I went gluten-free I had no more allergies. Talk about a major surprise to me!  

But I was thrilled by it. 

I still get a bit, like last week my ears itched. Weird right? That was always a symptom for me. So I had a little of that. But that was it. As soon as that hit I said, "Rick your allergies are going to start soon" And boy did they.

I asked him last night if he went gluten-free and never had to deal with this misery again would he do it? He paused for the longest time and I said, "that was an answer"  He laughed. If you had asked me that before I HAD to go gluten-free I would probably have said no too. But since I had no choice I am thrilled it fixed my allergies. They were far worse for me in Fall than Springtime. But neither one was ever fun. 

This morning ole drippy was a hot mess. He is a mouth breather now and his voice is wonky. He took Dayquil this morning. He shouldn't because he has high blood pressure but it does help the drippy. As he explained to me this morning his work today was on tubs so he was bending over and he didn't want to drip in his mask. So he had to take Dayquil.  

You know that whole mask thing and being drippy never occurred to me. 

The poor guy. 

So I have a limp-y dog today, a husband who is miserable and I'm just fine.

I think I need to run away before they mess me up. 

The other night when I was up all night with the dog I watched a nightline episode I wish I had never watched. It was on the DeepFake App.  I am certain by now you all know about this. It's an app that changes everything to the point of seeming real.

They showed how this was used with the dictator from Korea. It was his face but it was all fake. I can see wars starting from this if in the wrong hands.  I find this so damn scary.

Here is a clip of the nightline story on DeepFake. Take a moment to view this so you too can be scared shitless. I hate being this way alone.
