…TO GET ALLERGIES!
Holey Nosedrips, Batman!
This here 34-year-old has been hit with a massive Spring allergy attack.
Look, I’m 34. I’m Asian. I grew up where there were no seasons. At most, I was allergic to  maybe  hiking Bukit Timah Nature Reserve as a sullen 17-year-old.
I’ve lived in the US for more than eight years without incident, and now, NOW, a few days before I am to board a plane THAT HAS TO ASCEND AND DESCEND, causing all those good things like CHANGING AIR PRESSURE, I am the Woman With A Sinus Issue.
Worse, I don’t even know what’s giving me the allergy. (Repeat: I have never had allergies in my life!) The doctor said I could do an allergy test when I’m back, but meanwhile, I can only deal with it as best as I can, with Over The Counter and Prescription medications.
Jay basically bought up the entire Allergy Aisle at Bartell’s.
With my luck, I’m probably allergic to the packinging.
maybe it’s the excitement of coming back to humid singapore that’s making your nose drip!
get well soon, dot!
Oh dear, I always wondered whether folks like us who grew up in non-seasonal environments would develop allergies after living for some time in temperate climates. Now I guess I know the answer.
Have a good flight, despite the nose and everything!
Thanks all! I hope good ole Singapore air will knock some sense into my nose and all will be well… (until I get back to Seattle, I guess.)
