156 today
The almost-constantly changing weather has my allergies and sinuses flaring (along with 99% of the area residents). Almost everyone in the tri-state area is hacking, coughing, and sneezing. I was trying to hold my own, but the coughing got to me. So I broke down on Wednesday and resorted to using some Ricola logenzes that I had stashed at work (from a year ago). I really hated doing it, simple reason being they contain artificial sweetener, but it was that or die coughing. I was concerned about the AS causing some cravings, yet that hasn't happened. It's not like I'm popping a logenze every 5 minutes, so I guess the amount of AS is small enough not to disturb me. I think the moral of the story is to take the medicine if you really, really need it, and worry about the fallout later.

156/156 1/2 today. Honestly, there's not much to report, so that's why I only post about once a month anymore--which is probably a good thing, if you think about it. Our weather has decided to remind us that, technically, it is STILL winter, with temperatures dropping from the 60's to the 30's. We even got some snow flurries this week, although no accumulation (thankfully). Anyway, when we start experiencing spring temperatures again (i.e. warmer) then I plan on resuming my daily walks.

I'm growing out my hair again. I just decided yesterday to do so. Numerous reasons...I like the shorter style, really I do. But it takes a lot of maintenance; trims every 4-6 weeks, money for the trims, mousse, blow-drying, washing more often, etc. Plus you know I'm a long-hair woman at heart--probably always will be. So yeah, I'm giving it another go. :-)
The granddaughter is being assessed for kindergarten today, starting this fall. Kindergarten, for crying out loud...when did that happen?? I am not ready for her to be this old, and I know it's even worse for her mama. She's attended a day school since she was a baby, and yet every time I think of her starting regular school, I get a knot in my stomach and feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm not sure why; it's probably tied up somehow with my own mortality.
