Oh, well, yes, I have come to accept that some days my To Do list is just organizing all the things that I'm going to ignore. But at least they are organized.

I patted myself on the back yesterday when I realized I'd gotten up, made coffee, done two loads of laundry and 2 drainers full of dishes, gotten the kids to school, volunteered for half an hour at the school library, taken Casper to the orthodontist, dropped off some pants at the dry cleaner and mailed a letter, all before 11am. Then I went to work.
I failed at calling a babysitting, because I mostly fail at anything involving the telephone.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

In today's WTF headline/news story:
I liked the line "He, and his severed penis, were taken to Cedars-Sinai." It's like "He and his estranged wife" or something. Like they had to convince the penis to go to the same location as the idiot who broke up with him/it.

Tep (or anyone who might know) - I took a Claritin this morning, think I followed it up with a Zyrtec as I often do and just now added an Allegra to the mix (because I didn't have my preventative med that I know doesn't interact with the others and I have an annoying amount of allergy symptoms still). My heart's not going to explode or anything, right?

That's a whole lot of antihistamines you've got going on there! I feel your pain, because my head is stuffy but my nose is also runny. Stupid pollen.
I strongly suspect you'll live, but I also don't think that's a good combination to repeat. It really IS a whole lot of antihistamines. Have you tried taking 2 Claritin (or 2 Zyrtec or 2 Allegra) -- without any additional antihistamine? Sometimes doubling up on the same one works really well.
Also, now that Nasacort is OTC, have you tried adding that? It'll take a week or so to really take effect, but it should be helpful.

OMG, work person IM'ing me with only "hi Brenda." Tell me what you want and I'll answer. Otherwise you have just made IM more inconvenient than email.

Nasacort
Is that the spray? I keep forgetting about that one.

Nasacort

It is. It only recently became available OTC, but since it's a steroid and not an actual antihistamine, it works differently, and generally pretty well, and is safe to use with antihistamines.

I think Sara's got allergies -- she's been coughing up a storm since the other day, and she doesn't have a fever. Poor noodle. She sounds so ragged.
