Living in the Valley

So, although I am not technically a "valley girl" by "Clueless" standards I live in a valley. And no, despite the name, it is not made of silicon. It is made of dirt which is good for trees and flowers of spring. However with each pretty flower I pass on the side of the walk or in my backyard comes POLLEN. My arch enemy. And POLLEN is winning the battle. Although I have a inhaler, a nose spray and old reliable--Claritin D, I am now taking Benedryl before I sleep so then my nose doesn't run into my pillowcase. So today, my mouth is so dry I can hardly speak! Which, if you're married to me may be a good thing for a short while. ha. (That one's for you hun). Hopefully spring will be over soon and summer will come. Looking forward to the beach and no more Benedryl.
