Lungs all tight, throat all post-nasal-drippy. In short, am coming down with something. Or am being choked to death by some allergy to which I cannot find the source. Laundry is being rewashed tonight, which I hope will help. Could it be that I spent nearly 12 hours yesterday under a combined 18 pounds of cat hair? Possible ( Read more... )

2. My new kneeling chair arrived today, only two days after I ordered it. Tonight I shall install.
