Allergies have hit me with full force! I hate this time of year. No wonder I'm a fall person. I hate this congested, exhausted, itchy-eyed, light-headed, generally-miserable time of year. Beauty and blooming flowers? Ha! I'll take the rich, warm colors of the changing leaves and the still late-summer/early-autumn air any day. Just...bleh. I hate it.

Oh--and I'll work on the second part of chapter one and the first part of chapter two later on today. I have a feeling I'm going to have a long stretch of solo time this afternoon.
