Not the yellow dust, anything but the yellow dust

You know what sucks about living in Texas?

When you feel like crap, but you don't know if it is a cold or allergies. What the hell is wrong with that scenario??? How can someone not know if they are sick or just having an allergy issue?

I have taken several different cold / flu medicines and all types of allergy medicines. Nothing. My nose feels clogged up and runny at the same time. AT THE SAME TIME. It is driving me crazy. I'm averaging about two hours of sleep a night (in ten minute intervals).

I have this damn cough that will not stop no matter what I do. I have taken nyquil, theraflu, and resorted to cough syrup with codine. Nothing. Still hacking away all night. I have tried sleeping elevated, tried sleeping with on my head with one arm wrapped around my waist, standing up. Nothing is working.

This is the first step to insanity. How can I hold back my inner voices if I don't get any sleep?

I've got what you've got...and it sucks. I thought it was a cold at first, but after three weeks now I do beleive it is allergies to all this yellow pollen dust. We need rain, a heavy rain!

I agree that we need that heavy rain. Of course, I also labeled "A" as a disease carrier and spreading sickness like a plague.
