geekchickToday is Setting Orange, day 14 in the season of Confusion, 3268.
Well, that was special. I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to make it out today, since on top of bad allergies at the festival yesterday I suppose my immune system was out of whack and thus spending the evening over at H. and D.'s with their three dogs gave me a pretty severe allergy attack. I woke up around 10 this morning after around 8 hours of sleep, and after being upright for 45 minutes or so and taking lots and lots of vitamins I was feeling like it might be possible to go back to the festival today. I was looking forward to spending an afternoon hanging out with G. and P. I got to the festival, did a little poking around at pretty shiny things for sale, and then boom, eyes started watering and burning to the point again where I couldn't see at all. I tried some possible remedies, but after being there for half an hour and rubbing my eyes almost the entire time we decided that I should probably leave. I don't know what it is specifically, but there's obviously something out at the venue to which I am highly sensitive. Suck. I think I'm just going to have to schedule some time with everyone from this weekend either indoors or after allergy season is over. Maybe a big group outing to see Great Big Sea?
