Geek Habitat

… { I am such a geek! } …

I’m experiencing a bit of what a weekend warrior like myself might term “adventure overload”. A little too many adventures in a little too short a timeframe to let my mind and body recouperate.

I loaded up on more Kleenex and allergy medications yesterday at the store, since I seem to be fighting this for the long haul (probably until our first hard freeze, which in South Texas, typically means early January!) I’m living, I’m just not entirely witty and coherent, or at least don’t feel it.

Ok, this is completely beyond any realm of comprehension. I had the worst night last night — if I wasn’t sneezing in rapid fire succession for 15 minutes (the U.S. military could militarize my skills, I tell you!), I was running for more Kleenex because my nose has turned into Niagara Falls. On top of that, my headache’s back and I swear to God I haven’t tasted, smelled or heard anything properly in over 2 weeks now. I used to take loads of prescription allergy medications, including allergy shots, when I was growing up. Every allergic reaction would trigger an asthma attack, which made growing up in South Texas none-too-pleasant much of the time. Still, it’s times like these I wonder just how much worse (or better?!) I’d be if I hadn’t done all that back then. You’d think my immune system would have learned a thing or two, but I’m not seeing evidence of that.

We’re fine. No one’s fallen into an abyss, never to be heard from again. We’re both over the worst of whatever crud we had, but vestiges remain and it leaves us… or, at least, me feeling like my brain is unformatted media. Thus, no new thoughts to share, and certainly none of the creative documentary writing I’d like to do regarding our now-completed D.C. vacation.

I’ll get back to regular posting soon. In the meantime, enjoy the sounds of {crickets}.

Feeling better, but still haven’t gotten rid of the “fog of allergens” that’s impairing my higher level cognitive functions and overall energy level. Just taking it easy for a bit, but I’ll catch up soon.
