* Monday morning over a week, the apartment smelt like a forest fire. I was really exhausted and struggling with lungs and sinuses all day. After midnight, the long absent breeze blew in from Alaska to clear the smoke away. Tuesday was much better.

* Wednesday, I collected Head Millennial and Techie Millennial downtown. We did errands and after techie Millennial worked on outside decoration while head Millennial dis assorted other things. This was a lot of excitement for Tavy, but also a confusion for both cats. Livia kept hearing it was quiet and coming out to see if they'd gone only to find one or more still there. The horror! Tavy did not know which of the three of us to follow around.

At one point Head Millennial went off to a local shop on break while techie and I were working on patio decoration. From Tavy's perspective, we all three went out the patio door and were doing something interesting, only Head Millennial had disappeared. He kept escaping to try to check the bushes. He was so concerned, Livia came out and was peering worriedly over his shoulder to try to work out what was upsetting him. we still have a bunch of interior stuff to finish, but most of the boxes are back in their closets, and at this point, exterior stuff is the priority, since the interior stuff stays up until the first week of January.

REMINDER: We are doing my Birthday party Saturday. an out of town friend arrives for it Friday intending to spend the weekend. I am going to be terribly busy and this will effect posting.

NOTE: I am super behind on the aggregate as the air quality issue is messing me up. This means news is going to me sporadic and often late. Apologies.

* I had hoped to post the aggregate before going offline for several days. Obviously, that didn't happen. I'm also dealing with terrible air quality and a massive amount of pain, and I just kept needing to go to bed early. I am doing my best to catch up on all the stuff that didn't get done here and elsewhere. Bare with.

Oldest Continuous friend, aka the Pseudo-Sibling, arrived safe Friday and we hung out all afternoon and Evening. Saturday's party was excellent. (Everyone vaccinated. Four of us Omicron boosted, the others careful maskers). Sunday, Head Millennial made Lasagnas and the three of us had a really nice dinner. I picked up the Pseudo-Sibling after my morning appointment and we hung out until it was time for them to go. A grand time was had by all except Livia, who gave up and decided to pretend the guest wasn't here as there was important cat business she was putting off.

Testing went as expected for the most part, but yielded interesting new data regarding the Cantaloupe incident. I am wildly, wildly allergic to grass. I was mildly allergic as a kid, but it was mostly a matter of itching when forced to sit on it, but living for years in Eugene surrounded by grass farmers and burn clouds, I started really getting sick. This is no surprise. Two previous allergists treated me for grass, weed, and tree allergies, but after my mother died there was no way to cover the copay, so I stopped getting treatment. Modern Medicare covers it free, so here I am.

Apparently, in a tiny percentage of adults allergic to the two types of grass I am wildly allergic two (as opposed to somewhat or mildly allergic to), the pollen can bind to the proteins in certain fruits and vegetables anfd one can get a very bad reaction. The most common of these sets of fruit and vegetables this can happen with in the case of my worst grass species is cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, and cucumber. My instinct not to test honeydew and watermelon was the correct one. The cantaloupe that nearly set me to the hospital was from the height of grass season, thus the very worst time to eat one. The good news is there's a chance I'll get melons and cucumber back if I eat them early in the season and the treatments are successful, as I'm not actually allergic to the foods themselves. It was the equivalent of me swallowing fistfuls of grass.

It is so like me to have a rare reaction.

In other allergy news, we knocked out the tree I was allergic to last go round, which just leaves grasses and a couple of weeds. I am still not allergic to cats, dogs, and mites. I am never allergic to indoor anything, which allergist usually never believe and insist on retesting. This doctor believed me and the results of testing. I am so allergic to perennial rye that the big raised ball of rash was still driving me crazy at bedtime even with all the meds. It was dramatically worse than the positive control and the other really bad grass, which barely itched by that point.

Weird thing that came out of it. My previous allergic apparently moved and now shares a practice with current allergist, but all the old records are lost. O.o

When I went out for my free birthday pumpkin chai, it looked almost like the Dustbowl from wildfire particulates. I had to go inside because they closed the drive thru for air quality. It was that bad. Seriously do you know how bad it has to be out there for Starbucks to start caring about health and safety? It's hard not to stare at the sun when it's that shade of red. It's mesmerizing.

In other news, I'm still behind on bills, but I do have money to sort out the car for winter. It will be tight, but I have hopes of November working out.
