  • My Angry Eye

    Allergy Update: The Telfast really isn’t doing much for me anymore so last week I called a specialist recommended by my doctor. I booked an appointment with him in four weeks to do a prick test and see if we can finally figure out what the heck is causing this. On a related (and humourous)…
