Friday!

The last two week my allergies have taken a turn for the worse.  I have been suffering like I haven’t suffered in a long time.  My current allergy subscription wasn’t helping, at all.  I know I can take Benadryl and the allergies will stop, for the most part, but the side effects from this drug are numerous.  The main one being I feel drugged.  I can’t quite think like I normally do, things are hazy and I am in a medicine fog. 
Last night I hit the ceiling of symptoms.  I was laying in bed, with an itchy throat, itchy nose, itchy eyes, even the inside of my ears were itchy.  I thought perhaps I just needed a little more water, so I drank a glass.  It didn’t help.  Finally I gave up.  I took the Benadryl.  The symptoms went away, but the side effects were incredible.
All night I had crazy dreams.  And not my normal crazy dreams, I had dreams of mutants, disasters, and just plain weirdness. 
The most interesting one by far was walking into a house, walking up the stairs and looking down to see a swirling mass of water quickly rising to overtake me.  It was incredible.  I was completely calm looking at all the water, it didn’t bother me until I woke up.  Weird.

In other news….
The wedding planning is coming along nicely.  We got most of the invitations mailed out this week with a few more left to get off.  I’m planning to get those done this weekend.  We picked up Freeman’s wedding band on Monday – he was very excited about it!  My dress is in, now I have to find time for the fitting, and I was able to find the cutest pair of shoes ever. 
Work is crazy.  I’m working on user manuals, online help fines, glossaries, data dictionaries, and testing.  I’m almost nuts with how much work I have to get done.  Almost.  But I am hanging in there knowing in two months things will settle down.  And I will be getting married.  Plus I know if I put in my time now, work really hard, I will get rewarded later.  I hope.
Class is out for the summer.  I need to get my application in for next fall, but I can wait a little longer to get that done.  I’ve found a renewed interest in my characters and am finally excited about the story again.  My group has started meeting regularly again, which helps a lot in the motivation front.  Yeah!
Erin is up for the weekend.  Her guy’s mom is graduating this weekend with her Masters.  I’ll get to see her a little bit, but not a ton.  I’m sad not to see her a lot, but excited that I get to see her at all!
Off to work again!
