I did something really dumb and made mounds of mulch before I left for LA, despite the fact that I'm allergic to leaf mold and there were wet leaves and I was in too big of a hurry to track down my mask.
So the whole time in LA my sinuses and lungs were burning. Then to make matters worse, I went hiking up and down the steep Hollywood Hills, breathing very heavily and making things worse.
By the time I got home, I was really having trouble breathing but then I was able to take some stuff I had from my last sinus cold thingy. (I seem to get them once or twice a year...)
Ever since then, it's been going from my lungs, up to my head, back to my lungs, etc. Very annoying, and I turned down two party invites and probably another tonight, just in case it is something contagious.
But at least it's not bad enough to keep me from doing holiday prep work.
And it's raining here. Hooray!
