Tolerable

It's nice and cool this morning, but it will warm up, I'm sure. Half a dozen lilies are open. I expect to see a dozen or more when I wake up (because more will open during the day, not because I'll be bleary-eyed- though I probably will be.) I also expect to see puffs of pollen drifting from the mulberry tree blossoms. I've already begun sneezing. Fortunately, my jaw is not left as sore by yesterday's trip to the dentist as it was after my previous visit, but the gums around the savaged tooth hurt like hell. Probably a couple more crappy days lie ahead, and more next week when the crown is installed. I'm napping a lot.


Yesterday's Sacramento Bee had a front page picture of the early morning gathering in San Francisco's Market Street. A huge crowd was there to commemorate the 1906 earthquake, at 5:12 A.M. PDT, which means that they all forgot that there was no Daylight Saving Time in 1906. They could have had another hour of sleep. San Franciscans are dumb sometimes.


Heh. An amusing response to LJ's new "Supported" (meaning ad-bearing) account level.


Time to shift te cat and get to sleep before the morning becomes too bright.

Spring Is Here.

This year, I had to wait all the way until the middle of April to be reminded that my love for spring is unrequited. Not only am I sneezy and congested, but the sudden dryness of the air has given me a headache. Oh, I've been abused by the most beautiful day! The pollen-spewing grasses are so green and thick, the flowers opening with such bold alacrity, the trees filled with so many songbirds! The air is warm, soft, abuzz with insects, and trying to choke me. I don't know how much more I can take. I never want it to end.


I've found that as long as I remain upright, area around the tooth lately worked on doesn't hurt, but when I lie down it begins to throb. That's not a good sign, is it? At the very least, it's going to make getting to sleep even more difficult than usual. Maybe I'll just stay awake from now on, or learn to sleep sitting up.
