While it's genuinely nice to be spending time with family, it's a really harsh reminder that I'm allergic to feather bedding.

And the Germans love a bit of feather bedding.

Pics of yesterday evening’s long run. Beautiful evening on my neighborhood trail.
Not pictured: bugs/spiderwebs/sticker bushes and poison ivy… #itchy #eatenalive

Innerhalb von 7 Tagen neue Lieder von #100kiloherz #Itchy und #daslumpenpack. Macht es etwas erträglicher

If you’ve got facial hair that itches, I can anecdotally report to you that using this Neutrogena Deep Clean foaming scrub on the itchy beard area has completely eliminated beard itch for me.

I keep it in the shower, and spend a few minutes massaging it in, and it has worked great. You don’t need massive quantities of it, so one tube goes a long way.

On Sunday, we met up with some friends, along with our granddaughters, for a few hours of park & fishing. It was real nice, except for the no-see-ums & the fact I forgot the bug repellent.

I now look worse than I did with measles or chicken pox & the itching is right up there with the chicken pox. I'm miserable & taking benadryl to help. I haven't had to use it much in the last few years, so it leaves me sleepy.

Misery is my name.

This is your daily reminder that in the 1890s some loon named Dr. Jaeger thought woolen underwear was good for your health. #itchy

Wonder dog scratched an itch on the inside of her ear so fiercely that she made it bleed.

Which I discovered this morning as I was patting her, and she yipped as I was absentmindedly patting her.

“MUM! That HURT!”
“Show me your ear, Wonderdog,” and she bent her head back towards me, letting me unfold her ear and have a look.

“Oh sweetie, we fix.”

So she followed as I got a soft, old face washer dampened with warm water, and got the Betadine and a cotton pad.

“Sofa, pup!”
Back up on the couch, she let me wash her ear, and apply the ouchy antiseptic.

Such a gentle dog.

She had a carob button as a reward, and I’m keeping a watch.

I have a very fluffy cat. She went outside today and came back in COVERED with burrs. She hates being brushed. I've spent ages trying to pick them out of her fur, I got maybe 2/3 of them. She has retreated to another room and my allergies are off the charts #cats #allergy #itchy

Right, time to put the 3rd kind of eye drops in my eyes, and start the evening audiobook running. And then it's just my ordinary eye drops as I wake during the night.

Allergy season will pass soon.

Night all!

Back from the #optometrist, with another medicated eye ointment to help with the allergy eyes. Also getting the lenses for my everyday graduated glasses remade (again) with a stronger reading script, and my reading glasses lenses will also be remade. Decided the leave the same reading script as before in my sunglasses, as I’m unlikely to be reading a lot in those.

I’m very lucky to have such a caring optometrist and lovely optical dispensers. Yes, my glasses were expensive, (I went for cheap frames, but got the best lenses I could afford) but the service has been outstanding.

Day six of allergy eyes.

I have now got fabulous healing “allergy shiners” - great big bruised looking patches around my eyes, from all the swelling. And they are still itchy and the skin is all flaky. Oh,, so attractive.

And did I have any moisturiser in the house I could use on my sore eyelids? Of course not. The very last of my good lanolin ointment ran out yesterday.

So this morning I had to buy eczema and psoriasis cream, (it stinks, but it seems to help), and sensitive skin moisturiser, and a new face cleanser, because even the “gentle” one I had felt like dishwashing detergent on my poor, raw skin.

Since Wonderdog is also suffering from the blasted #privet, we asked the vet today about options for helping her, as well. Turns out the cheapest and most effective treatment is to keep giving her fexofenadine (telfast) 120mg, but try her on a morning dose as well as the evening tablet. She’s a big doggo, (chunky, even, sadly), so she can handle that much. The other choice is still under patent and very much more expensive, and it’s better for skin sensitivities caused by grasses, anyway.

I will be very, very glad when the privet stops flowering!
