It is definitely spring; trees and flowers are growing, and there's a palpable something in the air. Fortunately my current regimen of asthma medications is working hard, and when I need something extra, I can take as-needed extras.
Today, for example, my eyes were itching like MAD so I popped a Benadryl. Because Benadryl is also Nytol, and I was at work and thus trying to stay awake, I followed the Benadryl with some chocolate-covered espresso beans.
And I immediately needed to pee. Immediately. Urgently. UTI-like, almost, but going from "no symptoms" to "Argh" in the space of 4 chocolate-covered espresso beans had me wondering if it wasn't really just "too much caffeine at once". (I also felt "alert", in a "slightly-fuzzy-from-Benadryl-way.")
Also thirsty.
So I went to the bathroom. But on the way, I stopped to drink a few glasses of water. On the way back? Drank another glass, then refilled it and took it back to my desk.
I repeated this about 4 or 5 times. I would not be surprised if some of my coworkers were wondering what was up with all the trips to the bathroom.
By the time I got home, things were calming down in that area. I took some cranberry pills, though, just in case.
