We were supposed to go to Apple Hill today. We sat down and looked at the calendar and figured out a free weekend and also factored in the knowledge that going up there before Halloween would mean crowds and heat and not so much fun, and this weekend seemed to be the best one. However, [...]
I’ve been getting the allergy shots now for about three months, and with two exceptions, I have gone in dutifully, twice a week, because I am determined to stick to the schedule they gave me and get through this as quickly as I can. It’s not always pleasant, of course, since I tend to get [...]
Due to some mix-ups in the schedule, we didn’t get to Apple Hill last weekend like we’d hoped. However, we ended up with one more free Saturday, so we went today instead.

I woke up this morning with a painful sore throat, and a nose that is starting to run. Oh joy. My very first cold of the season. Since we decided we’d exchange presents with my little sister’s family so they could take theirs back to Seattle with them, I stayed up rather late last night [...]
