Allergies and morning music
Mold count was around 122,000 parts per yesterday. No wonder all of us here thought we were sick. Most of the household and staff suffer from allergies to one degree or another. Yesterdays count set a new record for the St. Louis area, which is one of the worst areas in the country for allergies anyway. Today isn’t much better. It’s like trying to think through mud. Movement is like having to push through cobwebs. They don’t really restrict your movement, but they distract, and set you off balance. I finally dragged my allergy befuddled mind up to work. I have hot tea, thank God, and all I needed was music. Audioslave bad first thing in morning when head is hurting. It’s a great album, but not when you feel like you have a hang over. Jon and I have actually started calling them allergy hang overs. It’s accurate. To ease into the morning, I’ve got one of the Harry Potter soundtracks in, and even that seems a little loud. God, I don’t feel well. My body’s allergies have done this to me. I cannot imagine drinking enough to do this to myself on purpose. I’m going to look for even quieter music, and try to make pages.
