Me: I took a Claritin and now I feel all whoooooooaa.
Ricker: Ooh. Claritin is your friend.
Me: More like my drinking buddy.
Ricker: Who takes you to the bad places, buys you cheap drinks and leaves you there.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Our six-week winter has ended and Spring® has sprung bringing with it all the delights of the season: non-stop sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and general throbbing in my sinus region. Usually I try to soldier through as best I can but at some point I eventually give in and take an antihistamine even though I know how it will make me feel.

And oh sweet Jesus... did that Claritin ever knock me on my ass. I've been in a fog all day. It's like him hyper-aware of everything around me however I also feel sluggish like wading through a lake of hair gel.

Tis the season.
