I went off of Zyrtec a few weeks ago and have been using the NeliMed sinus rinse thing since then after a review from the Fitnessista. I had been thinking about it for a while, but it seemed like more trouble than it was worth. Actually, it works really well. My nose feels better than it did when I was on the Zyrtec. The first few days after I went off the allergy medicine I was miserable, but I can breathe just fine now. It’s a pain in the butt to have to boil water every day and get it just to the right temperature and then clean out the bottle after I use it, but it’s better than feeling like my head is going to explode. I call this experiment a win.
Gives me more opportunity to be annoyed by the new floaters that have been bugging me lately. Though every time my eyesight gets worse it seems like I notice them more. And I know when my eyesight is getting worse because people will say things to me like “you can’t read that???”
I should have blogged yesterday, I wasn’t doing much yesterday. We went to the Poconos for the long weekend. I was off Friday too. Went shopping at the outlets. Good times. Rosemary stayed with us, actually she’s still there. She’s always entertaining. And she has some videos for Bryan to convert, yip :)
Oh and I booked our San Francisco trip! We’re mostly going to visit family … and eat. Bryan was trying to convince me last night to take a day trip to Disney Land. That’s not a day trip. There’s plenty for us to do for one trip. Next time we’ll do a split stay. In the meantime, taking suggestions for things to do, places to go, things to eat in/around San Francisco.
Hey! I just visited San Fran for the first time this past October. I can’t wait to go back. Favorite places for me were Pier 39. There is a place on the boardwalk that has the best clam chowder sourdough bowls. It’s super cool to see the sea lions hanging out there as well. My husband and I enjoyed Chinatown. We ate at this little sushi place that had this cool river in the center of the restaurant with a mini boat going around it that dispensed your sushi. I wish I could remember the name of it. We took a boat tour out to the Golden Gate. Walking as well as biking the Golden Gate is an incredible experience. I hope you have a great time!
Nelimed neti pot helps me.
My boyfriend uses something similar to that rinse by the same brand but he puts it in a neti pot that looks like a weird tea pot. He SWEARS by the stuff and says it’s helped him too. Me? I choke on the water and make a sloppy mess, haha. I am glad you’re feeling some relief from the allergies though! :)
Have you ever been to SF before? It’s my favorite place, so if you need places to go and eat let me know!
I visited San Francisco in 2009, and one of the places I enjoyed was Pier 39. They have a lot of food and tourist spots there, and it could be something that you would enjoy. Another one that I remember is an Italian restaurant next to the Marines’ Memorial Club. Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the name.
Have fun with your family on your trip there!

Hope you feel some relief from your allergies soon. Have fun with your family on your SFO trip!
Yes!! Do a split stay next time… Next year?!! :D
LOL, and you’re right, Disneyland is not a day trip if you’re planning on driving.
Anyhow, SF… Well, Lombard Street is something cool to go see. And the Victorian houses/the “Full House” house. Of course the Golden Gate Bridge. Chinatown. Union Square. I guess that’s all of the suggestions I have for you. I haven’t gone to San Francisco much, so there’s probably other things too, and of course, night life, haha.
