FMI

For my own information:

Immitrex doesn't really do much
Flonase give me migraines
I hate not being able to just rest my chin on my hand.

Also! I forgot to mention on my last post that I got the Sketchers Resistance Runners. They are AMAZING!!! I can walk the mall, disneyland, or down a few blocks! They are great. It feels like I'm walking on a firm air mattress. You know that feeling when walking where you the ball of your heal shoots terrible pain up and you feel it in all your joints, then your body just feels like collapsing on itself? Yah, don't really get that in these shoes. Highly recommended L)
