it's just allergies...right?

summer 2007

was the pollen bad today?  or is it just me?  because i felt great all of golden week and then today, after just one day back at work, i'm feeling stuffed up, with a minor sore throat and headache.  i hardly left my house in the last 3 days, so maybe it's just the elements?  lack of sleep? (damn crows at 4:30 and 5:30 this morning)  allergies?  first-day-back-to-work-after-long-vacation-tiredness?  something other than a cold from all the kiddy germs floating around at work?  ...please?

speaking of work, things worked out finding someone to cover for me, and i came straight home this afternoon and bought my ticket to arizona.  it's way more than i would spend for 3 days, but my mom emailed me and said how touched dad was that i was even considering coming so far for the memorial service.  he even offered to pay when he realized i was serious about making the trip.  so, i will see my family for what i know will be a much too short 3 day trip.  but it shouldn't be as hard if i keep in mind that i'll see them again when i go home in the summer.

and hopefully dad will let me cut the grass just like the last summer i was home.  because that tractor mower is way more fun than it looks!
