Allergy season was simply brutal last spring and fortunately I have not been hit too badly so far and DC almost not at all (knock wood)
Last year I was not so lucky.
When they did hit me I just was not expecting it so I did not prepare in advance. Yes, it was April and yes, they hit exactly when they normally did but really – it was snowing and cold all month so spring allergies were the last thing on my mind.
Not only were my allergies at Max Capacity but DC discovered a “Holiday” that he never noticed before..
Facbook Status – April 17, 2018
Due to my allergies/bronchitis or whatever the heck is happening, DC missed going to the grocery store on Sunday and again today. (Sunday and Tuesday are grocery days).
No one loves the grocery store as much as this guy so he is getting a “little bit” anxious about it. Believe me, we are not low on food and believe it or not – – because I know you’re thinking it, we are not even out of bananas!
When we skipped it on Sunday I told him we could probably go on Wednesday if I felt better (I said Wednesday because he has an activity scheduled tonight so his usual trip today (Tuesday) was not even on the table anyway.
The promised trip to the grocery store was written on the calendar as soon as I mentioned it, but he is still very worried that I won’t feel better by then (I do feel a bit better and did take him to his activity tonight).
I began hearing about the promised trip on Wednesday over and over again. In between asking about the grocery store he also made a point of asking if I was feeling better. His concern would have been lovely if it weren’t really all about the grocery store and reminding me about the grocery store over and over and over and over and over.
This morning, still not feeling well, I finally had enough of listening to this every five minutes, I told him I did not want to hear about the grocery store again until it was time to go on Wednesday and if I heard about it one more time, we would not be going at all.
He stopped asking about the grocery store….but he resorted to reading me the grocery list over and over and over and over again while never specifically mentioning the grocery store……

You will be happy to know that DC finally got to go to the grocery store so with that behind him, he is now moving on…
After hearing about it more than a few times and not wanting to hear about it over and over again all week, I explained to him that Earth Day is not a “going out to dinner” holiday. It is a leaning about the the Earth holiday so to celebrate Earth Day, we will have to go out for a walk in the woods ….
I have heard nothing more about Earth Day.
****
So Happy Earth Day to you all. If you are looking for DC, he will be boycotting.
(I may have spoken too soon about my allergies not being all that bad this year.)

This one made me laugh out loud! I know this scenario well.
