Ahhh-Choooo!

The allergy attacks have gone on, and on. Usually, I'm only affected this bad in late summer when the ragweed breaks out. But I have been wheezing, sneezing, dripping, itchy eyed, and stuffy for weeks now. Sneezing endlessly started yesterday afternoon. I must have sneezed for more than 3 hours. Jaffa joined me, both of us sneezing and sneezing to the great amusement of the boys. Dan said we were allergic to each other.

I took Claritin D and later had to have a generic antihistamine... which had me asleep quite early.
Matt wasn't here today, so after Dan and Sam did a bit of school work, we headed to town. The boys put their checks (earned working at a neighbor's house this week) into their bank accounts.

We are still laughing our way through the FailBlog.org . It is really scary how .... dumb... some people can be. We read a letter to the editor of a newspaper, blaming drought on daylight savings time. That extra hour of hot afternoon sun is evaporating too much moisture from the atmosphere. If the government would just DO SOMETHING about daylight savings time, drought would come to an end.
Another explained that it should come as no surprise that there are earthquakes in California. Putting the weight of so many people right there on the edge of the continent like that is causing it to break off into the ocean, resulting in earthquakes. Duh! It is so obvious!

The blower of the fan in our van is acting up. It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. Today it blew for nearly a quarter of a mile. We either have to get that fixed, or we will be driving two small cars to Ohio instead of one big van. No way we are driving 800+ miles with the windows down! I wondered if it were the fan itself, or the switch. I decided it has to be the fan, or a connection from the fan (relay) because there are separate controls for the front and back.. they wouldn't both work/fail /work /fail at the same time. Guess it is a good thing I work for an auto parts store!

Well, I think whatever it was that started the sneezers yesterday afternoon has returned. Oh joy. Have a great day!
