Itchy

I look into the mirror through eyes nearly glued together by some allergy.  It is obvious I have been scratching.  Scratching for nearly a month now and it is taking its toll.

The allergy medicine seems to work -- sometimes. But sometimes it doesn't help at all.

The past month has seen whatever this is escalate from itching ears to a huge spot on my neck that is nearly raw.

My attempts to ignore it are failing.  My attempts to alleviate it have failed, but only part of the time.  I wonder if it could be related to something I am using?

I tried to walk today, but it was just too cold and windy.  There were hard biting little pieces of icy snow blowing through the air when I went to the library.

I came home and immersed myself in the bathtub until I thought I would just melt away and slip down the drain.  Getting out I didn't use anything but a towel.  Maybe it is some lotion?

Right now I am trying to distract myself by writing, but obviously it is not working.
