Hubby has had his sinuses roto-rootered. He was not happy about it. I think only the bilateral retrograde for his kidney stones was worse.
ION, today's unshelved.com comic is very sweet. All this week, the Head Librarian has been lecturing Dewey on proper dress in the workplace.

Trepanation in this case would result in snot all over the floor, walls and ceiling.
Okay, that I don't want. I just want to be able to breathe! And have my throat stop itching!
This is the part where I pop my head up and suggest nasal saline a couple times a day. Because it helps flush the nasty pollens out so there's less irritation.
Playas gona pollinate.
HA!
Are there reasons to take it now that there weren't in 2009?
At the time I had a 1/2 time regular gig that gave me relatively solid financial footing for the freelance design career and a summer gig that I've been doing for ages, both of which I would've had to quit. A month or two after not applying for the full time job, the theatre with my 1/2 time job folded. And a few months ago I decided to quit the summer job. Those weren't the only factors, but they are a big part of the financial picture.
Dear plants: STOP HAVING SEX.
This. I'm seriously considering having the local trees spayed and neutered.
Or investing in a diving helmet. Still, this year is about 100x better than last year. When I can remember to get my antihistamine where it belongs, and not in my eyes.

Why did you quit the Summer gig?
Ooh, that sounds pretty exciting then, aurelia! And if you've got a guy on the inside rooting for you, bonus!
I'm fighting with my gym, because I signed up for personal trainer sessions, and then they changed companies, and now it's all a mess. I was paying one price, but now they charge a different one, and no one can figure out how to convert...ugh.
Somebody needs to invent a roto-rooter for sinuses.
Afrin.
My niece had something done to her sinuses and it changed the pitch of her voice. Didn't stop her from singing in her death metal band, but I'm not sure "singing" was an actual requirement anyway.
aurelia, sounds like the timing is just right! Carpe whatever-"job"-is-in-Latin.
meara, good luck with the gym. My gym is nothing more than a pit I throw money into. I should just cancel it.
Why did you quit the Summer gig?
Oh, how to answer that? Short answer... I quit on principle due to administrative changes. Vague enough? The long answer is dramatic and probably more than you want to hear. Would you believe I was there for 17 summers?
I have a Beastie Boys rant. I AM VERY ANGRY.
I should go calm down.
