dear exploding head syndrome, i have not missed you one bit.

when a bakersfieldian, i had constant ear-nose-throat problems, allergic to 87/100 things on the allergy panel. i relate it amorphously to my alcoholism, believing the big book's definition of an allergy as being "an abnormal reaction to a substance," in the case of alcohol & me meaning that when i ingest it, i crave more, like other stuff i'm likely allergic to, such as peanut butter or the fragrance of grasses & trees, but w/booze it's to my more immediate & obvious detriment. back to the ENT thing: today's only the 2nd since temporarily moving to condado de naranja norte that i've had exploding head syndrome: horrid sinus pain. i bent over to stretch some more after yesterday's run & arggghhh!!!! aaaaaahhh!!!!! [series of expletives] why???? oh god, why???????
so i dug out some allergy meds i'd brought from the mtn home (you don't need allergy meds there, just vaseline to rub in your nose so you don't get bad nosebleeds upon climbing from sea level here to 5000 ft there) & took them. hope they're the right ones, not the ones that make me either sleepy or psychotic. whee! in the old days, popping a mystery pill or 9 would've been fun: "i wonder what adventure or horror will ensue? whee!" now i just hope it's the right one... then i wrote a song. i'll play it for james when he returns from haircut. no more irish curls; back to military tidiness.
speaking of which... well, i was gonna complain about housework & how i wish i weren't so OCD-rather cleanfreak now that i live in a place w/two males (sister-in-law says it's this way BECAUSE they are male, an idea i was not raised w/by my egalitarian parents, but ok), but i hear him coming up the stairs. ah! so handsome! wow! :D
more later maybe about james's shows, our musical duo & travels, books on prayer, secret military missions, willie nelson & dickens, stints at being do-gooders, places to eat, spotting a baby mole on yesterday's jog,  lifelifelife... how is yours? :D :D :D
