Good Thing I Don't Live Where There's A Water Shortage

This morning, after a leisurely wake-up, mom called just as I was getting out of the shower to say they were going for a bike ride, and would I like to join them? Of course!

We biked up to, but not into, Kildonan Park, because traffic in the park was a zoo. (Father's day.) I think my uncle's odometer said the trip was 11 km. It was a lovely day for a bike ride.

However, I needed a shower when I got back... only an hour after the first! Oh well.

*Something* I'm allergic to is having wind-borne-sex outside right now. According to the Weather Network, grass is moderate, and spores are high (prevalent spore is "Coprinus")... so it's hard to say if it's the grass or the spores. I do know I'm allergic to freshly cut grass... but then I'm also allergic to mold. Blech. I washed my face, and I think I'll go try my neti pot too.

I foolishly thought "gee my allergies don't seem to bad right now, maybe I won't take my antihistamine today" this morning. I took it after my second shower, when the allergies noticeably kicked in... but nothing's happened yet. Last time I went to buy antihistamines, the store was out of my usual (Allegra), so I thought I'd give Claratin another chance. It's been years since I used it, so I hoped my body had forgotten it's resistance to it. Either it hasn't, or waiting to mid-allergy-attack is a *bad* idea. :P

Funny I can't take Allegra one of the five percent of people that can't! I don't use Claritin but the equivalent that I purchase in Costco. Have to take them EVERY single day. I too love the new layout,just wish I could change the thing that says showing latest crochet project check here for older posts. To see your new posts I HAVE to check on the Soapbox title. Not a super big deal just a bit strange as there used to be an option for newer posts.

Strange... where do you see the "lastest crochet projects, check here for older posts?" The newer/older post links should be under the comments, which is where I think they were before.

Right above the post for the socks you showed in April. When I click on Soapbox all that disappears though. Maybe I should just start everything over maybe that would fix it,because I don't just come here for the crochet.
