oh, ya, one more thing...the POLLEN?!?!

K, so evidently pollen levels are at insanely high, record-breaking levels or something right now (actually, prob just the time of year that they are high, but I am exaggerating), and my FACE is letting me know this. Like how joints supposedly ache when a storm is coming in, well, evidently my face has decided to equip me with my very own built-in pollen-o-meter. Yup, pretty much, based on the red and swollenness of my face, as well as the number of minute hives, I could tell you the level of the pollen in the air. Oh ya, totally sitting in my apartment with windows shut and AC on, but oh no, still getting the full effects of what is going on outside with the allergens. Here are a few pics, and they don't really do it justice, but basically, my cheeks can be seen from my own eyes (note-to-self, it's not normal. If that is something that normally occurs with you, you should prob get it looked at). My face, if lightly running your fingers over it, feels like a million little blisters just ready to ooze gook all over when they burst. Yup, feelin' like your face is on fire and you just got bit by a million little red ants couldn't get any better. I'm settling right into it, embracing it, and taking pictures of it for you all to see. So here ya go...
