From Fiona's backpack

[pegkerr]

Fiona finally cleared out her backpack today and passed something on to me that I found quite amusing: imagine what would happen if an English teacher got a hold of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

(Click on it three times to see it close up.)

In other news, I passionately want to rip out my lungs. My family is trying to dissuade me, telling me that I need them. My response is that they are absolutely no use to me right now and in fact are driving me crazy.

Hmm. I guess I'll hold on to 'em now, at least until I finish this cup of tea and see whether that allows me to sleep.

Feverish. I hope I don't have to go into work tomorrow--unless there is some snafu with that order for an extension we're expecting from the Court and I have to go in to do a filing after all, hacking away.

I'm having problems with allergies now, too, but because I've got my Advair prescription it's just sneezing, not a generalized problem with breathing. I took some Claritin this morning and I'm already starting to feel better, but yesterday I sometimes had sneezing jags that lasted for dozens of sneezes at a time and I was going through tissues like crazy.

And now my pastor (and boss) is going through something similar to when I started evincing asthma symptoms. What is it about living here that eventually does this to a person? It's happened to her a lot faster than to me, though; she's been here for about ten years now and I had lived here all of my life before, at 40, I started having asthma symptoms. Without my medication I can barely function; with it I'm just fine. Don't put it off, Peg! Go see the doctor and get what you need ASAP!

I've dealt with it; I started the Advair yesterday. I think it's going to be a day or two for it to get to a therapeutic level. I've started using a Neti pot, and hope that'll help, too. I'm staying home from work today, just to take it easy.
