Slipping Toward Lucidity

The generic Benadryl helps the situation, but I'm still pretty blotchy and itchy when the antihistamines wear off. This morning, both the Benadryl and the Zyrtec had worn off and I was a mess. I took some of each and drove to work. They started kicking in about the time I got here, which meant that I went into zombie mode at my desk. I now appear to be lucid enough to do more than try to read and clean my desk, so I'll get back to coding now. I hope.

In the meantime, I'm suspecting that when I get sensitized by sulfites, I may become allergic to the dye in the Benadryl tablets. So I have some dye-free capsules now. We'll see how that works.
