I am Literally Allergic to Housework

Good Tuesday morning to all. I have been very busy lately working on paperwork for a new job and spending time with my mother and at the hospital, my step-dad has been there since December 22nd. Everyday is like a rollercoaster, he has 1 good day, then 1 bad day. Please say a prayer for him.


As I stated, I am allergic to housework. For years I have had headaches that I thought were sinus headaches, and I always thought it was from what I ate the night before. For awhile there, I blamed them on tomato juice, jalepenos, (although, that was a bummer, because I love spicy foods), and avacados. A few months ago I had a headache so severe, after the fourth day of pain, I went to the emergency room to desperately have them treat my headache that just wouldn't go away. They hurt so bad, I was sick to my stomach. Anyway, after a few hours in the ER, and serveral questions from the doctors and nurses, turned out I had allergies. It boiled down to mowing the lawn the day before the headaches started. No cure for allergies, just use the sinus rinse, and take Claritin daily and wear a mask when doing yardwork and housework.

I remember having allergies as a child, when I ate homegrown tomatoes or watermellon, I would loose my voice and my throat was itchy, but never did I have such excruciating headaches.

Well the other day, as I sat watching tv, elevating my surgery foot, I noticed dust on the base of my tv, and grabbed a dust rag and removed that dust, which led to, 'it's a little dusty under the table, and that table' and well, bottom line, the next day resulted in the headache-from-hell, hence I am allergic to housework! I didn't wear a mask, because I wasn't planning on a two hour house cleaning, just one thing led to another and I will NEVER clean house again (without a dust mask on). Or better yet, just a great excuse to not have to do housework as it affects my health!

I am going to see an allergy doctor this week, to see if there is some magic pill he can give me if I ever get another headache because the pain is so bad, I would never wish it upon anyone. Wish me luck.

There will be no mowing this week, as we have over 4" of snow on the ground and are expecting another 4" tomorrow. And after reading this, you know how much housework I plan to do, zero.
