First time outside in over a week

United States
April 23, 2016 12:59pm CST
We had a lot of rain yesterday and it did a good job getting rid of a lot of the pollen. I am still coughing and I tire easily, but I had to walk outside if even just for a little while. I actually had a golf cart ride to the road to take the photo. I had to see the cement work up close and it looks good. In the photo the lighter colored cement is the new stuff and now it spans 30 feet at the road. I didn't want to overdo it so I didn't stay out more than 10 minutes. Photo is mine.

It's good that you could get out, even if it was just for a few minutes. I hope your improvement continues.

Thanks, but I think I'm worse now than I was then.

Today isn't a good day - it seems I only feel 'better'when the a/c is running.

We are still waiting for the rain to come. This would knock back some of the pollen. Even though I take loratadine, I sneeze, cough, and have itchy eyes. The door is open and fresh air is pouring in. The sun is out and I should be outside working on the garden. But, the breeze is a bit on the cool side. Just take it easy lady. Don't over do it. Enjoy the day.

That sounds like the allergies that were going around my mom's seniors building. She's still not back to 100%

It started out bronchitis and then turned to allergies...I hope it's working its way out of my system.

It looks good from the picture. Don't overdo it, it is better to take it easy the first few times you go outside.

I was only out 10 mins. The air is clean today - or I wouldn't have gone out at all.

That's why we had it 'fixed'...people drive like manics and some local-yocal will be on our tail - now at least we don't have to 'stop' to turn in and hopeful not get rammed.

It must have been ice to get outside even if only for a short while.

I did pay for it later, the coughing was bad for quite a while. Only thing that helps is the A/C.

from the road to the gate is 350 feet and then that whole area between house and workshop is cement. glad I didn't pay for that much of it...what we had done was expensive enough.

I'm glad the rain washed the pollen out of the air. Take care. Give yourself time to regain your strength.
