Damn it, body, you had ONE JOB.

I have exactly one plant allergy, and that is to juniper pollen. If juniper pollen comes into contact with my skin, it looks like I’ve run face first into sandpaper that’s been used to make lovely floral arrangements of poison sumac. I found out about it this one time when I was chasing my puppy down for a bath.

As you could imagine, if it gets into my windpipe, hell ensues.

Between the ice pick headaches, sinus headaches, and that infernal juniper pollen, my mood’s been so bad that I have to avoid people. Can’t breathe, head’s going kaflooey, nothing’s getting done…at least I can do something about the last one of those. I’m drinking colloidal mineral water once a day for my headaches; my aunt recommended it, and for the last couple days it’s been a little bit better. I mean, mineral deficiency? With the size of the multi I take, it never would have occurred to me to even think of that.

Ooh. Shiny.

The Solstice is on the 21^st this year. While the intention was to have my ocarina replaced by then, I decided that there were a couple of things that I wanted a little bit more at this point—also, I don’t NEED a new oc until the Winter Solstice—I’m counting on there being some kind of winter sale going on.

I’m also trying to stock up on consumables. Specifically, vape stuff. I got my grubby little mitts on a pair of new accessories, and I have my eye on two herbals.

Uh…the projects?

All projects will be resumed when and ONLY WHEN my health is squared. I have five doctor’s appointments in the span of four weeks.
