This means WAR!

By the calendar I've been marking, the oaks of Georgia have been conspiring to murder me for exactly four weeks now. (I've no doubt they'd settle for suicide, they don't seem fussy.) I have resolved to slaughter every damned one of them and move to Seattle. ACat points out it would make more sense to move FIRST, then I wouldn't need to.

Seriously, I keep forgetting just how draining chronic pain is, and my body keeps teaching me all over. Hopefully this is almost over - my research suggests it probably ends around the end of April, but I have a horrible suspicion that our mild winter means record length of pollination, to go along with staggeringly record breaking amount of pollination this year. We've been talking about moving since the start of the year, but it's as if Georgia wants to kick us out a little faster.

If you moved to Seattle first, you'd need long-range missiles to kill them.

I'm sorry you're having a rotten & protracted allergy attack. OTOH, you also have the PERFECT userpic for the occasion!

Heh, don't tempt me.

*grin* On the other hand, it's alarming looking back and seeing how often I have used it.

I'm so sorry you're conducting an Emma Bull LARP in your sinuses. Definitely one of the weirder curses.

How was your winter mild? Up here, that means we got very little precipitation and temps were above normal. Both of these were not good for northern Mother Nature. Does a mild winter in Georgia just mean warmer than usual temps? If so, and you got normal or more than normal rainfall, then yes, that combination, unlike ours, would be good for Mutha Nature (and her nefarious byproducts).

OTOH, your mild winter might just mean an early Spring followed by an early Summer. Which sounds like the lesser of two evils and may mean pollen season will soon be over. Let us hope this is the case.

I approve of your icon.

Yep, I've been having a *fun* allergy season myself. *sigh* I'm also waiting for things to get better, though I'm allergic to enough stuff so I'll likely crossover into something else's season soon but this has been pretty bad this year - everywhere I hear. Feel better!! *hugs*

And I yours.

You? You win the internet. And any other random prize of your choosing.

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2012-04-26 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Wet and reasonably warm, so yeah, bonanza for the plants. It's a little better today and I am cautiously hopeful.

Feel free to swipe it, if you like. It's applicable distressingly often.

Yeah, no one's having a good year for pollen except the plants.

Yay, I always wanted an internet!!! For my random prize, can you throw a pillow at Rob? He knows why. He may even look contrite. Maybe. Okay probably not.

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2012-04-26 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ok, but for pity's sake let me at least let the poor man wake up first. :) (And no - not even knowing what this is for, I guarantee that even if he tries to look contrite he'll be snickering underneath. Unless he thinks he actually hurt someone but I'm guessing that wouldn't get the pillow.)

Oh, no. To be honest, he hasn't done anything, I just like starting pillow fights. *whistles innocently*

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2012-04-27 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Done!
"Now, what was it you did to deserve that?"
"I don't remember, but I'm sure I deserved it. She probably remembers."

Ok, so why did I just hit my husband with a pillow? :)

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2012-04-27 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Other than "I just like starting pillow fights." I would think those would be more fun first-hand.

[identity profile] autographedcat.livejournal.com 2012-04-27 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Because his girlfriend asked you to. Politely.

Goodness, how should I know? I wasn't even there!

[identity profile] kitanzi.livejournal.com 2012-04-27 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Good enough for me!

In spirit, you most certainly were. *grin*
