I was supposed to go for a visit to the horses yesterday, but, with all the traffic coming from San Diego over Highway 74, I decided to postpone my visit. Good thing, too, because I understand that drivers were whizzing through Anza and acting horribly. Ugh. Who needs that?
So, instead I decided to tackle the weeds (AGAIN) out front. I used the weeder and did it along the side, next to my sunflowers, and along the street. Ha, ha...don't want the city code enforcement officer to give me a citation for "weeds" even though many houses around us need some TLC!
Next I decided to mow a little bit more in the back yard with my NEW lawnmower! I got about 1/3 of it done last week with no problems. HOWEVER, yesterday I also yanked up some weeds with my bare hands (I probably shouldn't have done that...), finished another 1/3 of the back yard, and took the weeder back there, too.
By then, I was a... COMPLETE MESS. My eyes were watering. My nose was running. I was coughing. I never had problems breathing, just everything was running! I sneezed and sneezed and sneezed. I FINALLY came in, took a shower, and laid down. At one point I SCREAMED at my husband to go buy me some Zyrtec (it is what our kids recommened), so he did.
I slept for 2 1/2 hours! Got up, watched a movie, slept another 2 hours, got up, ate a grilled cheese sandwich, watched another movie, and fell asleep for the evening at 9:30.
I feel 80% better this morning (NO SNEEZING), but I'm woozy...or... LOOPIER than usual (as hubby likes to say)!
Next time I'll wear long sleeves and a MASK!
Ugh!
At least the yard looks halfway decent now.

P.S.
I just looked up ragweed. We have it ALL OVER the yard! We also have lamb's quarters (I believe that is what I pulled out with my bare hands).
OOPS! The guy across the street is out sneezing right now!!!!!
