After a month of sneezes and coughs that gradually got worse and eventually led to a week of being driven out of the kitchen and onto the couch feeling generally miserable we have a suspected culprit. A new seasonal allergy! Yay! ... *grumble* Seems I've been living in this town long enough to have gotten sensitized to this lovely common allergen, though how I wasn't allergic before is what really surprises me. So it's antihistamines and daily neti pots to keep me functioning right now and I've started to inch my way back into the kitchen for more adventures. After all, summer is almost over and I haven't played nearly enough in the kitchen.
I'm typing this on my nice new laptop that my DH ran to a neighbouring town to get me because they were on a great sale and our local store was all out. Have I mentioned that I really love my husband? The same husband who is canning a bushel of tomatoes in the kitchen as I type this? He's awesome. Very awesome. And mine. He's mine. I'll stop now.
On the upside, while feeling generally crummy I didn't have to completely waste my time playing games and rotting my brain on daytime TV. See, I got some family tree software last Christmas and now that I have a nice laptop home for it, I got it all installed and started plugging in what info I had already collected. Obviously I can't discuss that much here, though I can say I found a picture of my great grandparents' grave marker and I unofficially (read: undocumented for now) have a couple lines traced to the 1600s.
I realize I've kind of been all over the board on this post. I'll make some posts over the next few days going into individual stuff that I've been up to. Thanks for reading this far and I'll be back soon!
