Love

Every time I come back, I never want to leave.  I love everything about this city.  It takes months to truly get over it when I return to where I live.  I shouldn't come anymore, because of this....but I can't stay away.

Allergies

Everyone has been complaining about their allergies lately.  For weeks!  I am allergic to everything (literally ALL pollen, dust, hair, mold, grass...whatever) and couldn't believe that people actually had allergies.  I was beginning to think that either they were retarded, or that I miraculously woke up one day and didn't have this huge problem that I've had for the past 28 years.  *Rolling eyes*  

Enter pollen domination on my body.

Yesterday, I woke up thinking that there was a great possibility that my head was going to explode and I would die.   My eyes burned, my face hurt, my head hurt, my nose dripped (super ew) and everything was swollen.  What the hell?  Seriously pollen?  You picked a day that it was RAINING to show up?  

Oh and thanks for not making Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec, and Alavert work.  At all.

Back!

I'm so horrible about updating my blog.  *Sigh*  I'll be better, I promise! :)

Nothing terribly important or exciting has happened though...so you can all sleep well tonight.  Haha, I'm suuuure you were worried.

The big news (big?) is that I moved.  I moved 'technically' on April 1st.  Ironically, it's pretty much the EXACT same layout, except that I added a second bedroom and bathroom off the kitchen.  And an unusually long entry hallway.  I'm sure you all know the bitching I've been doing on Facebook about my noisy upstairs neighbors, and alleyway.  I'm on the 9th floor now, and outside of random street noise, it's very quiet.  Currently, I don't have anyone downstairs or to the right of me.  Left, is Ms. Smokey McSmokerson, and upstairs are four Indian bankers here from India for a two month contract in a corporate apartment.  They are quiet, except when they drag chairs across the floor.  It's quite noisy when they do that, but man, they are nice, and don't (as of now) throw parties.  So far, I'm in heaven.  AND AND AND!!!! THE BEST PART....I don't use lights except when the sun sets.   Even when the sun is actually setting there is enough light in my apartment.   The sun wakes me up in the am, but I just smile and turn over to go back to sleep.  I'm so happy that I can see the sky (and amazing sunsets out the living room window from my couch!!!) that I don't even care yet.   (AND for those who know me, and know how much I love to sleep, this is HUGE.)  Haha.

Here are some pictures!

My first houseplants sitting on my kitchen window ledge getting a tan.  Haha.

So that's it folks! :)  

Also, I FINALLY got my internet fixed tonight.  Thanks to the help of David and his brother on picking out a router, I (again) FINALLY got one that works and will connect to my computer.  It's been 22 days since I've used my own internet.   22 days!  Most of the time I used a common connection, but it's nice to have my own secure one again.  Plus, it makes my viewing of Netflix through my Wii MUCH faster!
