The Health Report
Beloved Partner went to his doctor yesterday and came home with an inhaler and antibiotics. Today I make my own pilgrimage. Sounds like Collin should do the same! What are doctors for, if not to express sympathy and pour a bunch of medications over everybody's seasonal URIs? I'm having one episode of allergies after another, precipitated by such ephemera as wood smoke; aromatheraphy; dust; and mothballs. Survey says, allergy tests and shots are in my future.

Alas, allergies. Consider it a small price indeed for living in a fabulous old house with fabulous things and furry friends. On the other hand, you might want to create a "respite room"--a sort of clean room with fewer of these allergy-inducing things.

Fortunately, none of those things is in my house--not even dust! But the survey was right: my doctor has made an appointment for me to find out just what's triggering this junk.
