This coincided with everyfuckingthing flowering and then the rain. I feel like I'm living on the set of "All Summer in a Day." Damned, that short still traumatizs me. We're on what? Day 13 of rain? I mean, it's probably aging making me more sensitive, but the snot is definitely at blame for what my goddamn guts are doing and the sneeze fits.
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I feel like I'm living on the set of "All Summer in a Day." Damned, that short still traumatizs me.
Me, too. Hard.
I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection, and I don't want more antibiotics if I absolutely don't have to, because they mess up my stomach and other parts. I haven't been using the neti pot, so I'm going to pull it out and give it a few days before I decide to call the doctor. My brother says to put food-grade iodine (it's not red, I guess) in the neti pot and it helps with sinus infections. I'm dubious about that, though.

Did the shelves ever arrive, 'suela?
NO. In fact I called the shipping company again today and after a while they called me back and reported that they have NO IDEA where my shelves are. This is a package that weighs 150lbs! And they don't know if it ever left their loading dock or what. Apparently it was supposed to go out for delivery by a subcontractor, but I begin to believe these guys just dumped my shelves on the side of the road.
Lesson learned: never order anything from Home Depot.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that: when you make your own stuff for nasal irrigation, you're supposed to use iodine-free salt. So I don't think adding iodine is a great idea.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

According to NPR, the first week of May here was the cloudiest on record, so if it felt dark and unrelenting, it was.
Yesterday I sat out on the patio, and also killed some vines, so I'm feeling much better.

Shit, one of my tires is going flat. I guess there's a field trip of indeterminate length to the tire place down the street today.

sarameg, fyi, on the radio this morning they said it was 15 days of rain. sigh ... and my joints hurt too. I'm taking Claritin and using Flonase, so at least I'm not suffering the snotmonster, but I'm really, really tired of rain. And my towels never seem to dry.

There hasn't been a wetter spring since I moved here to Virginia, I don't think. Personally I love it, but I know it drives normal humans crazy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's beautiful here!! I kind of thought we'd never see the sun again.
