Allergies and Dust mites

I am still messing trying with this sinus infection trying to get it under control. The doc put me on antibiotics and zyrtec. Since I get this every year as soon as we close the house up he thinks it may be allergies. Maybe dust mite allergies. Yick.

Dust mites freak me out. They are so tiny you can't see them. They live by eating the skin you flake off your body. They live on your eyelids, your pillows, everyplace, millions and millions. And you get allergies breathing in their excretions. Feces. And then you got to think, maybe living on them is some type of mite that eats their flakes. And a mite that lives off their flakes. Infinate colonies of such minut particles that the most powerful microscope on earth couldn't see them. Every time I take a shower do they prepare for the tsunami? A ecosystem so fragile that all the bacteria soaps we are using has caused extinction of whole species. We will never know.

But I do know this. I have ordered pillows that are resistant to dust mites. I am sure in a world so vast and so full of skin flakes that killing off my few billion will not make a dent in the scheme of things. But maybe, just maybe I will finally get rid of this sinus infection and feel like a normal human being again. It will be a good thing.

Yesterday we ate at my son's. His girlfriend made a great dinner and we had some wines make in Iowa that were wonderful with the meal. Cranberry wine, yummy. I started out the day feeling totally crappy, I had chest pain off and on and am still just exhausted. Rick went into A-fib and he was feeling under the weather, what a pair we make. But after visiting and drinking some wine we both felt better. Family, friends and good times, the best medicine.
