You might think it's boogers, but it's snot...

I hate allergies. Stacey and I both woke up this morning with dried, itchy eyes and a lot of sinus congestion. Congestion for her usually leads to a headache later in the day. Her eyes were so bloodshot, you'd think she hadn't slept at all.

Though J-mo has this theory that our cats are the culprit (and I have no doubt they contribute greatly), it's the pollen that finally causes us to break down into a long list of allergy symptoms. Always has been that way for me (cats or no cats). With all the rain we're having lately, I'd like to think the pollen would get rinsed away, but alas... It's been a long enough 2006 already for sinus-related issues. Enough, already...

We were bums and skipped small group last night. With my family coming into town this weekend, we decided to use last night and tonight to get the house ready for their arrival. A lot to do...mostly just laundry and vacuuming, though there's always the mystery 'piles' of odds and ends that seems to wind up on our counters/tables. The pile I'm looking at on my dresser right now is made up of about 10 CDs, a roll of fresh (unused...heh) toilet paper, a flashlight, a "Joey" menu from Outback Steakhouse, a pair of sunglasses and an empty can of Sunkist. And that's just the dresser. Don't ask me what's all in the mystery 'stack' of hobby stamps/scrapbooking stuff is that's leaning like the tower of Pisa on the chest of drawers.

Anyway, time to get going...now if I could only find some allergy medicine in the pile on my nightstand...
