Overall, I must say that today was a really good day. I edited and pared down my policy paper for today from just over 9 pages to 7.5 pages (only 1/2 a page over the maximum length). I went to the allergist this morning, who was kind of condescending and didn't really believe me, but then quickly changed his tune after examining me. I walked out with 3 new meds, came home and immediately took the ones I could--and felt immediate relief. Class went fairly well, we got out early, and then I convinced 3 other friends to join me at IHOP for free pancakes!!!

Now that I am finally able to breathe and feel much less congested, and the weather seems to be sucking less, I am a much happier person. Spring break is just around the corner, so time to catch up on work and the neglected apartment and, the best part, to Columbus for pupusas and onto Pittsburgh for a mini PCES reunion. Only drawback is it will only be a couple of days with people I haven't seen in a year or more. But better than nothing and the timing could not have been better.

Off to watch an episode of Grey's before bed, and hope my good mood and productivity continue into tomorrow.
