It seems my allergies are in simpatico with poor Princess. The past two weeks I’ve been clogged up, post nasal drip, pretty much in hell. Aside from the fact that it’s the season and the crops are all blooming, I’ve been trying to find out why I’m so miserable in our house but okay outside of it! The BF, not wanting to waste the money using the AC, had been opening the bedroom window at night for cool air. This of course is bad for me because there is a farm field right outside our window! I put an end to that last week and stuck an air filter in our room to try and clean it out, but it hasn’t helped. Today I cleaned the whole house as best I could and also turned out the house fan. Since we haven’t had the AC or the heat going, there has been a lack of air circulation. I turned on the house fan today to get things moving, to see if that actually helps at all. Yeah I know technically that would churn up the dust more, but it would also force it through filters. I also changed the nasty dirty filter in the furnace thingy! Ew! When the hell was the last time it was changed? I don’t know honestly. I’m hoping that will do the trick. So far I am feeling better than I was last night for sure.

Meanwhile poor Princess, today I noticed her scratching, shaking her head a lot, then I saw she was holding one ear down. Yup, it’s that time again for her too. Her allergies are acting up and her ear was inflamed and all, which seems to happen around this time every year. I fortunately have a bottle of prednisone and gave her a pill. By the end of the day the ear was back to normal and her itching under control. She’s due for another now actually, I’ll give it to her as soon as this post is done.

Changing the subject somewhat, but staying on ears, I ve decided I want new earrings, as well as more. Currently I have 2 in each lobe and 1 in my left cartilage. I want 1 more in the cart below the current one and 1 more in the other lobe (I have to keep the sides different numbers, I don’t know why, having even numbers in both seems so uncool to me). I’ve wanted to get more for awhile, I just never have. My first cart one took forever to heal, I think that’s why. I think I might do it this summer though. I also want different earrings, or should I say colors. I have the plain old silver/steel loops you get at the piercing parlors. I want some color, and am thinking blue on one side and orange on the other (cause the also can’t be the same), assuming i can find orange. I’m sure I can, otherwise I’ll go with black. I’ll probably get the colored earrings first, then the piercings later. Oh and for the curious, I have nothing else pierced! I can barely deal with putting in and taking out earrings, it skeeves me, I don’t know why. So I could not do it anywhere else on my body!

Wii Fit tomorrow! Weeee I’m so excited!

  1. The other day I realized that I haven’t worn earrings in a long time, perhaps the entire semester. So I tried to put a pair on, and it was a fight. They were mostly closed. :0( I don’t have any simple post earrings, and think I need to get some to wear for a few days to reopen the holes properly. My ears still hurt from the other night!

  2. i’m the same with my ears, have to have an uneven number. the right has 3 the left 4. at one time i had the cartiledge on my right ear done, but after several years my body decided to reject it and i had to take it out. i pierced most of the holes myself when i was 14.

  3. Karen,

    My cart litterally took forever to heal. I found out it can take 6 months to a year for them to heal!

    Also i know a lot of people get them done at the piercing pagodas at the mall. Sooooooo bad for you! They put in studs with backs on them, which you should not have up there at all. You need to have a steel hoop like at the piercing parlor.

    Aravis, yeah that’s my nightmare and why i don’t take them out lol!
