Laughter Through Tears

After neglecting it for weeks due to being sick/tired, my apartment is finally clean. What I did discover yesterday morning was a meal moth infestation in one of my kitchen cupboards. Throwing out anything that might have been infected was depressing. Now the cupboard is clean and empty and all the food is stored someplace safe. I did go grocery shopping, not so much to replace all the rice and such, since I can get that from my parents, but for fresh fruit and medical supplies.

I cough very little now and I have an appointment for a lung capacity test of some sort. However autumn is still the peak of the allergy season, even if the weather is summery. Accordingly I needed more tissues, but opted to drop the OTC nasal spray in favor of saline, which is supposed to be better. Certainly I'm doing better now than I did Saturday night, which is when I stopped taking the nasal drops. The package does say they're a short-term solution and I'd been using them way too long.

Yesterday I wrote a bit. Later today I plan on taking a walk, or maybe just going up the street to the park to sit and read. Not parking myself in front of the computer all day, at any rate.

Last night I spotted a spider under my desk, which made me nervous although I reassured myself that it's harmless and won't offend unless offended. It's gone now, but they're nocturnal so it might be back later tonight.

Overall I think things are looking up on most fronts.
