 Ah, the writing madness has started and I missed the FIRST DAY!

I blame my allergies. I dog sat for a friend of mine Saturday night and completely forgot to bring my plastic encased pillow. Thus my dust mite allergies had the freedom to frolic throughout my system, wreaking mayhem everywhere, especially my lungs.

I found out several years ago I had allergy-induced asthma. No allergens, no asthma. Dust mites were my worst nemesis. Therefor, I bought a plastic lined mattress cover and plastic pillow covers. Stopped the dust mites cold. Lovely, lovely, breathing.

Saturday I wheezed terribly, and ended up grabbing a Seattle Weekly to put under my head when I unexpectedly had to take the dog out in the middle of the night. The paper worked, and I got a few hours of sleep.

Sunday was spent mostly in a zombiefied state. Pretty appropriate for the Day of the Dead. I crawled into my own bed about 8:30 pm and slept until about 6:30. Blessed allergy relief.

But now I must write madly to make up yesterday's missing words.

Curse you, allergies!

allergies, sleep deprivation, writing
