Still working on some stuff

[kinzel]

Not going in to the SRM office today, sticking close to home.

OK -- anyone out there need/want some Claritin and/or generic equivalent? We've got some here we're removing from the house since we *both* get jitters and moody when we take it. Today is a pretty bad allergy day and the idea was to hit it early, as a preventative strike ... but geesh. Me, I'm not having a good track record with these things.

Elsewise today, Theo and I are talking. Not getting a lot of these final patches done quickly, but talking, so Saltation moves on -- fuzzy allergy fighting brain doesn't help.

The neighbors across the street are remodeling their house and adding a garage. Can you say noise and traffic in the country? makes taking that contemplative morning walk even iffier -- construction noise *and* turkey season ... maybe i stay in and talk with the cats.

Oh yeah, I forgot -- here's that link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwZcJheRqBA ... which is the link to the youtube final installment of the Buzzy Multimedia interview .... which ought to be looking tubelike beneath here ...

Still working on Balticon .. .sigh; so everyone seems to be having travel doubts. Me, if they'll tell me I can have a table in the dealer's room, I'll be there. Without the table I probably can't afford the weekend. Gah! on the checks that are in the mail.

OH right, if you visit our SRM Piblisher shop on Publishing Island in Second Life you can get a note card with the youtube links on it... thanks gang!

Final note on the day ... I think we started waking up with the cats around 5 AM today ... you see, the cats use the sunlight as a measure of starting the day and this time of the year .. it gets sunny here early. Two things going on: one is that we are fairly far north, and the other is that we're in a spot that should actually be in the timezone to our right. Long days in the summer, yessir!

Zyrtec worked much better than Claritin, and generic was way cheaper, too.

Achoo!

Have you and/or Sharon ever tried using a neti pot for your allergies? I don't tend to do well with meds either. The neti pot has been amazing for my allergies (well, that and a prescription nasal spray:)).

No neti-pots here. The description I read of how to use it made me sure that I misunderstand the function and theory

I have a friend who was very resistant to using one until she finally had enough and tried it. She was amazed. Really, you won't drown. It is definitely not comfortable, but the results are worth it.

That "far north" thing is only true when it comes to N America. Unless my google-fu has deserted me, you are with in 1° or so of latitude to the French Riviera (i.e. the South of France).

Mind you our cat is having the same "wake up it's light outside" issue but fortuately thanks to the fact that we benefit from summer time etc. he's only bestirring at about 6am.

Reiterating that allergy meds without the methhead-preferred "D" component should remove/reduce the jitters & muzzy brain feeling, and still let you breath.

If you really want to get rid of the Claritin, my dog Skye uses it. As he's 13 (91 in human years, MOL) and sleeps most of the time, jittery doesn't seem to be a problem for him .

That would be the Claritin without the D.

I think that's what we have .. .drop me a note with your address to kinzel (at) korval dot com and I'll be glad to send it your way

[otaku-tetsuko.livejournal.com]

I was actually wanting to try it out to see if it would help, so if you were to send a few my way, I would be most appreciative. One is not in the financial position to experiment easily. I found out that even though my doctor wrote me a prescription for the Claritin, because it is available OTC I cannot use my insurance (10$ copay) to buy it...must pay full price (20$ for aobut 30 pills..)

we'll try to remember to split that we have a couple boxes started
