52/427: To Rue

Now that it's getting very balmy, it would be a good time to hang out in the back yard, but I don't do that anymore. The shrubbery has grown so vast that there is barely room for a chair out there, and certainly no room to move around. Plus the bright sunlight splattered through the leaves hurts my eyes. I also suspect my sneezing would get worse if I spent time out there in the plant-spooged air. It's bad enough indoors.

And speaking of sneezes, I'm done with Kleenex. The last two boxes of that brand I've had have been nightmarish. I can't pullout just one tissue. They are all in a string, and sometimes a light pull will bring out three or four. It's almost never les than four. Previously I had a few boxes of Safeway's store brand (I think they're called Softly) and this issue didn't come up (accidental pun.) They almost always came out o the boxes one at a time. They are actually cheaper than the Kleenex, too, except when the Kleenex is on sale. In the future I intend to stick to the brand of tissues the don't stick to each other. The tissue must issue!

It's going to be warmer tomorrow, and then get warmer still. A high of 97 will arrive next Tuesday. I shall rue Tuesday, I'm sure.
