I had big plans to take Barry’s classes thrice last week: arms, lower body, and chest days. However, the pollen in the air was especially brutal. It hit me like a Mack truck. I went to arms class under the influence of Benedryl. When I returned home, I noted my left eye had become red.
I took a Claritin after waking up from a post Barry’s and shower nap. I ate dinner and watched Met Carpet coverage and like a champ, my husband put the boys to sleep, while I drifted asleep. At 3 am I woke up to swollen eyes, akin to something out of a horror movie. Wearing contacts were out the question.
With that I canceled the remaining two classes of the week in favor of rest.
