Damn those allergies
Written by Annie on August 9th, 2009I realize I haven’t written anything for a while. I’ve been having a pretty good summer doing summer type things so I suppose that’s why.
Three days ago I went to my friend’s birthday party at her house, and around midnight I went upstairs to escape the music (which didn’t help much, it wasn’t a very soundproof house). I took a little nap, was awoken by music or screaming or something, and BAM I start noticing how itchy my eyes are.
I first think it’s the makeup, but then I remember, my friend has a cat and her cat hair is everywhere. Every time I go to my friend’s house, I come home to have eyes start itching like crazy, even if I’ve only just sat on her sofa. So this time, because I took a nap on her bed and sort of snuggled in her cat-hair infested blanket, oh god, my eyes were itching like hell.
And even worse, I planned on sort of just crashing on her couch over night, so it was bad. The reason I always forget about the cat is that I never see it. Apparently, she hides whenever guests come over. But her hair is everywhere. My other friend who crashed on the other couch awoke to have her black top… a fuzzy gray.
I’ve been suffering the past few days with itchy eyes and some cold symptoms. I spent most of Friday in bed sneezing with my eyes closed. My body really does not like cats. The interesting thing is that both my parents had cats when they were younger. So how come I end up with a severe cat allergy?
