SPQR Blues Chapter 4 part XXVIII, row 3

[spqrblues]

Even though I drew the pencils for this row and the rest of the rows in this little mini-story-arc all in one evening, I feel like I'm way off my game right now. A little muffle-headed and confused. Could I have gone from the flu straight into... allergies? At least allergies would mean that spring is here :)

I have allergies to certain plants and I recently discovered that some of them can go on spreading their little horrible make-me-sneeze microscopic particles all through winter.

But enough bad news. You're not that off your game. At least I can't say by looking at this part and the previous one. I see a perfect progression for an usually sheltered girl. The mix of close-ups and long shots is gret.

Thanks :) I'm enjoying trying new angles and adding in more long shots.

Just when I'm starting to look forward to working in the back garden, the plants have the nerve to... to... pollinate!

I went straight from the flu and bronchitis directly into a really bad cold (yes, it was a different illness. I could tell. My ears got all stuffed up.) and from there into projectile vomiting. This has basically been the worst March ever and I'm glad it's now April.

I hope you get better. I've found that Nasalcrom, despite its unlikely name and my abhorrence of squirting things into my nose, does a good job at combating nasal allergies. It's OTC.

You poor thing--that sounds completely miserable. I hope April is completely illness-and-nausea-free.

My spring allergy thing is new. I never had much trouble in the past, then a few years ago, suddenly my head was spinning in circles. The doctor gave me a prescription non-drowsy allergy medication that put me out like a light :P Maybe I'll try the OTC this time :)

[shadefell.livejournal.com]

A lot of the non-drowsy pills put me out, too. Oddly enough, the ones that dissolve instantly (instead of being swallowed) don't have the same effect. Weirdness.

If you can get a decent quality air filter, sleeping with it near your head at night will help. Also, I've heard that eating locally produced honey can help also, because you're consuming the pollen and that helps you build an immunity to inhaling the pollen.

I'm allergic to dust, mold, mildew, and fur bearing mammals and sadly honey is made of these things. I say sadly, but really, it's a good thing. ;)

I may never eat honey again...

Blech!

(nice little sketch, tho)

I do have a friend who has had very good luck with using the locally made honey cure, however. Fortunately, I have a source for locally made honey (since my brother-in-law runs a research farm at a nearby college), so she gets it for free!

Hee!

Yah!

[b2creative.livejournal.com]

Yep, Ky gets free honey too.

I got conxshuns, ya know.

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

So you get experimental honey? Like, someday you might ingest some radioactive honey and turn into BEE GIRL?

Kewl.

As long as I get big, um, "antennae" ...

Luv the disgruntled/bereft kitty in frame 1 -

"Where u go?"

[meritahut.livejournal.com]

I promise you, that cat is determined to find a way outta there...

[dr-phil-physics.livejournal.com]

I can see it now. Sweetums and the cat, sitting atop the next hill, looking down at the river of lava wiping everyone out and locking the secrets of the city for two thousand years before confused archaeologists show up. The two animals look at each other, shrug, and then head off, The only survivors. Sweetums, in particular, is going after some locally produced honey. The cat..., well, something small and furry moved over there -- time to stalk and pounce.
