Our Ducts are Clean!

And the anti-allergen filters are in. I have no way of smelling if there’s a difference, because over the last few days I’ve been overwhelmed by the smell of car air conditioner coolant. The smell is not real, olfactory hallucinations are another symptom of paxil withdrawal. However, if I wake up in the morning and don’t sneeze my brains out, then clearly things are better.

I went to the health food store for vitamins. I did laundry. I played Sims 2, chatted for about a half hour. Not much of any value has been accomplished here today, but that’s OK.

Alison in Glendale, CA, signed up for a dating site.  She used my address.  Now, this strikes me as pretty dumb.  How is she supposed to get dates if they can’t contact her?  It’s like filling out your publisher’s clearinghouse contest with someone else’s address, or opening a bank account with a fake social security number.  Of course, now that I’ve changed her profile to show she’s a fat, vegan Jain with children living at home with her, she might not want those e-mails after all. . .

On The Road Again!

Last night, I made an overskirt with a pocket and a muffin cap to go with the Renaissance Faire costume. Carolyn does not want either. Audrey has an overskirt, and made herself a drawstring pouch for her outfit. I might braid myself a belt from some scraps and make a little pouch for cash, but it’s nice to know I’ll have a place for keys and personal items hidden under a big pouffy skirt.

After I finished that, my back was killing me, and it was time for bed. When I was at the doctor yesterday to get something for my infected fingernail (owies!) I also asked for something that would put me really, truly to sleep. She gave me Ambien CR, and I took it and slept a solid 6 hours. That might not sound like much to some of you, but it’s a big step in the right direction for me.

We’re driving up to the orthodontist today, with a side trip to IKEA so I can finish organizing the laundry/computer room and get another table for sewing that doesn’t shake like mad. I think we might visit some people briefly, maybe get some seasoned laver from the Asian market up there, but we’re kind of seeing what happens as we go.
