I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Mine is, for sure. A lot worse, actually. This happens every spring, and I am befuddled by it. There are a lot of anecdotal reports of people whose IBS is worse when seasonal allergies get bad (thank you, internet), but I can't find any real research on it.

Mine too, but I thought I was just imagining it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I always get gastric upset when I have a lot of post nasal drip. My doc says it's expected--you swallow a lot of irritating mucus, which upsets your stomach, and the mucus, and the irritation, gets passed into the intestines. Both colds and allergies produce post nasal drip, so I'd think the reaction would be the same, either way.

But Steph's science-y histamine explanation is probably closer to the actual truth.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I would like to get married again so I can wear this, even though I would probably look terrible in it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The little guy's laundry is in the wash, and I have vacuumed the upstairs. Need to wash sheets, and vacuum the downstairs. So tired of adulting.

I am over scheduled with meetings and work and burning a leave day and then things keep blowing up that mean all that gets shoved off the table. And I still haven't had time to call roofers and contractors and holes still in walls.

So tired.
