The Sneezing Didn’t Take Me-Dealing with New Year Allergies

“It’s another New Year

And I ain’t gone.

Thank God Almighty, I ain’t gone!”

That’s the infamous song that the elders sing every January in the church that I attend, but I wasn’t there to sing it in the year of 2026.

Allergies struck my house.

Hard.

Headaches, runny Rudolph noses, and eye-runs that look like boo-hoo tears are all familiar symptoms. I could go on and on, but you know how it is.

Also on this day (1/11), I believe that the Ides of March arrived early. The wind is blowing extremely hard. I’m not going to risk going outside, as it may make things worse with the blowing allergens. I don’t feel like getting the stares and people pulling up their shirts over their noses because of our sneezing and runny noses. We’re not contagious. But who am I to judge? I do the same thing!

Here’s to a happy 2026!

About Me

I’m an outsider that likes to peek on the inside. I am an extreme introvert, but will become an extrovert for the right people. I avoid social situations, not because of the extreme introvertism, but because people make me sick–literally. With this unfortunate condition, that’s why there’s my tissue and me. Literally.
