For most people...
wall-to-wall carpeting is a blessing. For me, it's the bane of my existance.

Okay, A/C makes my cramps worse. Got it. I can do something about that. And I can keep the dust and pollen in the air to a minimum in my house.

But the carpeting is something that is proving to be a "challenge". I vacuum...and the vacuum makes me sneeze...even with one of the high-flalutin HEPPA filters. If I don't vacuum, though, boy howdy am I in a bad way.

Boy howdy? Man, I've been in Ohio too long already! LOL

Allergies aside, life in the Francis household is about the same. Lou should meet with the manager tomorrow about the job at the restaurant, and I still haven't heard about the car loan...but I *did* get a key in the mail, and Saturday I find out if I won (say it with me, all you game show lovers out there!) Brand New CAR!

My guess: I'll walk out of the showroom with a coupon for a lifetime supply of kitty litter. Hey, it'll be more than I walked in with!

*sigh* I think my cold meds are making me slap-happy. Think I'm going to head for bed.

Oh a bit of good news before I go: Taylor got into the Advanced Math class. This is cool for her, cuz that's where she wants to be. For me though, well, let's just say that there is a reason I was an English major in college and NOT a math major. The day she looks at me and asks, "Mom what's a polynominal..or however you say it (see what I mean about the Enlguh vs. math thing)?" I'm going to have to tuck my tail between my legs and defensively say, "well, YOU'RE the one who wanted to take the advanced math class...figure it out!"

Yeah, it's a cop-out. So sue me! LOL

Okay...that's it for real this time. You can all go back to living your lives. :-)
