Hello, there, I see you sitting the closet in the bathroom. I know that I going to need some, my nose is running and my eyes are watering. Do you think that you can help me today? It one of those days for allergies to be on attack today.

Oh, look you are 12 pack of tissue boxes. Yes, I am glad that you are in the closet today. Some many choices in this unopen package. But first I have to choose a box of tissue I want.

Ok that job is done, come with me my little friend. How fitting my choice was the one with colorful flowers on it. Great, my little box friend you are 3 ply thick. That should take care of the nose that is running and the sneezes that I have. I will take you everywhere with me today as it that attack of the allergies today. I wish that you had aloe in you today. I know that my nose will become raw as it runs and the sneezing happens.

As I travel though that house with you. I feel like I am depositing my tissue in trash like you would deposit money in a bank.

The count is up to 8 now. I think that you are greatest thing to battle my alleries today. Yes, don't worry I have taken your friend the allergy medicine I hope you and the medicine help me get thought this day of allergies.

Now, it's time to start my days. I armed with tissue box and the medicine I have taken.

Oh no it is day of doing the dusting in this house. I have to added a another thing to my attack of allergy kit. I lunch bag. Yes, you saw that right. I have added a lunch bag to the allergy kit. It just in case if there not a trash can in the area when I need deposit the used tissue in the trash.

Hmm, a apron is not just for cooking when you have house that needs to be dusted. The pockets can hold the tissues that I have taken out of the box have to use the tissue in one pocket and the lunch bag in the other. Just in case to us if there is no trash can in the room that I am in.

I look like I am ready for the war of the dust in this house. Can you say that I am arm or pocket ready for the war on the dust in this house.

The dust bunnies have no chance to get me today. You are not getting me today. I will not let the allergy monster when this war.

Oh no, the sneezing has started again as I start to dust. One tissue down and yes there is a trash can in this. That is one for dust bunnies because you caught me off guard. I must continue this battle with the allergens in this room. I wonder how many tissue this room will take to get though.

Must not give into the dust bunnies in this room. I have more rooms to do today not just this one. One room down and four to go.

I am battling in each room as I go. I have to return to the tissue box once in battle. I have only been in two rooms right now. It seems the dust buddies not like what I am doing with their friend dust monster.

Pushing on I must do. I will win this battle returning to the half empty box to reload my pocket.

Ah, I am done with the dusting, it is tie in this war because the allergy medicine has started to work. At least eye have stopped watering I can see now.
