I was quite tired today, with a mild sore throat and seasonal breathing issues, so I was not ambitious. I watched a pleasant Hallmark movie about a genealogist finding love while saving the life of her gay best friend by locating his biological father to be his bone marrow donor. I also attended an online talk by the author Silvia Moreno-Garcia about negotiating for other media rights when signing book contracts - I'd missed her Eugene talk so it was fun to see her.

Meanwhile, the new Magic set came out. J and DG played at the Springfield store, then had a dinner at J's favorite Springfield restaurant, then came home briefly to pick up a Covid test for DG, who also had a mild sore throat. I didn't see them, but they saw D. walking to catch a bus downtown for the evening's Magic event at the downtown store, so they gave him a ride and then they all played Magic for another five hours.

I totally get that feeling of non-ambitious with allergy symptoms flaring up. There is only so much medication I can take, maybe you too. Hope you feel better by the time you read this.

More magic, how fun! :)

It rained a bit this morning, and I definitely felt better today. I don't really experience much improvement with medication, so I don't take any beyond my daily fexofenadine. Oh well. I hope it'll rain a lot this week!

What you take, that I know as Allegra is very helpful. And the Vitamin C with nettle is helping too! I think I had an even worse than usual reaction to what was going at work. Some of these doctors and PAs go crazy with the meds!

Happy it rained, that usually does help a bit :)

My current version of Vitamin C, besides a daily geritol vitamin, is a daily cup of frozen grape juice, which I scrape with a spoon to get lovely bites of frozen goodness. I started with orange juice last year, but my mouth is too sensitive to citrus, and grape juice has all sorts of natural antioxidants, plus the Vitamin C they add to it. Better than drinking wine, in my opinion. Such a treat! :)
