Day

[dampscribbler]

It's better than being sick, but why am I having an allergy attack? It started about 2 days ago, slightly congested sinuses, somewhat itchy nose and eyes. Weird.

It's foggy today, which means I'm not comfortable driving for more than a few hundred feet. I have about 30 "floaters" in each eye, which become distractingly obvious when staring into whiteness. So I'm working from/at home today. The problem with home is that there is so bleedin' much to do here that I can't figure what to do first, and like an old Ford in the ice, I spin my wheels fruitlessly for a long time. Time for some kitty litter, I guess.

Happy days to y'all.

Well this just reminded me: here's the link for the Margaret Atwood interview:

Look under "The Next Chapter" - it's episode 3.

Oh, thank you! It occurred to me as I was reading the book last night. I'll get it going while I do some chores.

The floaters sound like migraine auras. Are you sure there isn't something else going on? I hope you feel better soon!

DD2 saw your icon and just said "it's the Statue of Liberty"! LOL:)

Kids love icons, don't they? It's actually a statue at the Picasso Museum in Antibes, France. Gorgeous place, I want to live there. Antibes, that is, not the museum.

The floaters are just annoying junk that happens. They've gotten worse this year, worryingly, because the literature says they don't get better, but I think I've had them bad before and they've gotten better so who knows? I'm bummed that it's so hard to drive in the fog, though. Here's some medical info, if you're interested: http://www.nei.nih.gov/health/floaters/index.asp

Thanks for the concern. :)

I've got lots of floaters too, which I am generally able to ignore but now I'm seeing them all over... when they're not annoying me, I like the built-in microscope effect of being able to see their tiny structures, maybe even cells?

Happy patron saint of buntho day, btw.

I've had the floaters so many years the amusement of their structures has worn off.

Happy back atcha, thanks for the Wiki-link! Catholics have some awesome legends, don't they? You've reminded me, I've been meaning to write to her. Does she have a public email address, or should I stick to snail-mail, you think?
