Allergies can be good too.

Well Mother Nature bit me in the rear again. It's my own fault for not listening to all the little warnings. I'm officially in full blown allergy attack. I could bring in Santa's sleigh in a blizzard right now. I've been sent home from work twice this week - which normally I'd be like "yay! short day!", but for some reason when I'm sick I feel like I have something to prove by torturing myself (and those around me) by finishing out the day.  Anyway, I'm in bed, propped up, hoodie and socks on preparing for, hopefully, more sleep than last night with what's clearly not a great attitude. I do have some fantastic medicine from Italy though. 

Anyway, enough whining and fussing. I'm blessed it's just allergies. I'm blessed that I can be with my family and friends and not quarantined. I'm blessed that I know with time my allergies will pass. I'm blessed to have a runny nose while there are those battling a frightening epidemic. My prayers go out to the people all over the world suffering from Ebola and other sicknesses that wish they just had a cough.  Prayers to their families as well.
