Snotmonster from the phlegm lagoon. That's me.

Okay, so it's stolen, but it's also pretty true. This seems to be an allergic reaction, and I'm trying to figure out what the hell it's specifically a reaction *to*. Saturday, I visited a friend with a couple of cats. I left about an hour later than I should have to survive the experience well. As it was, I was sucking on my inhaler for the next three days. Tuesday night, went out to the State St. Diner, a horribly smoky place (at least, it felt like that in the condition I was in), so *that* didn't help. Wednesday came and difficulty breathing was due to all kinds of crud in my lungs. As of last night, my sinuses were flowing freely and the coughing and the hacking continue to break up lungy goodness. At least I'm not coughing like I was on Tuesday, when it was bad enough to make my back hurt. My ears are stuffed, I'm slightly dizzy... all is not copacetic with my world. The reason I'm wondering is because most of these things only ever affected my lungs and made them hurt. I've had the head stuffiness elsewhere from time to time since about three years ago. My body seems to be better at handling it, or I'm just not having such horrible attacks, as the first time it happened I was unable to even leave my apartment for three days. It was that bad. (Note to self: could be mold, considering that wretched thing Luke put on my head Tuesday night. If that was a trigger, I'll need to get back at him)

On the plus side, while I'm not exactly tip-top condition (the dizziness is interesting enough that it's one of the reasons I'm not planning on going out to Thescorre this weekend), I can usually find a sufficiently long moment of clarity to run through 18 rounds of DDR, or however many it is to make my calorie requirement for the day.

Gaming may well be going by the wayside. Dan seems to have come down with a case of responsibility, which brings us down to 2 PCs.
