abide and abate

Just a hair of abatement with the neuropathy, but still fat in the fingers and sensitive on my feet. This morning I think I dropped or missed screwing in every bottle top and can lid that I handled. Probably a good day to stay away from machinery operation. Mid-morning my eyes started itching so badly that I had to anoint them with some of the Tears stuff and then take a pseudo-ephedrin. This seems a clear indicator of reduced immune function. Or is it immune function run amok? And why allergies? It's the middle of winter (supposedly) here and nothing should be growing or floating in the air. Oh yeah: PM10s and PM2.5s. Our air is loaded with them because we are not getting our regular winter storms. In any case, a couple buds are showing up with sandwiches for lunch later on and I will abide the remaining symptoms and enjoy.
