Rant #3,756: Gotta Get It Right

I got my allergy shots yesterday.

Thank goodness for that.

The last week has been pretty bad for me and lots of other allergy sufferers 

With the fluctuation in temperatures that we have had this summer--one day it is in the 90s, the next day it is in the 70s--my allergies have gone haywire, to say the least.

And now we have Canadian wildfires again--

Not as bad as we had them two years ago, but bad enough.

I was out of the house pretty much the entire morning yesterday, and there was a pall in the air, with the sun trying to peak through. 

This past week, my nose has been dripping, my eyes have bothered me, and I have been a bit of a mess.

Air conditioning doesn't help much, and going outside just exacerbates everything.

So, this summer hasn't been too much fun yet for me, on a number of levels.

My son continues to look for a job, and yesterday, through a Zoom call,we spoke with a counselor from one of the agencies that is supposed to help him.

The woman was a font of information, and I believe that by having my son's assessment play out, we are going the right way with this mess.

Among the information she gave us was the suggestion that my son go for a psychological evaluation, since he hasn't had one in a while.

I called the place she gave me, I was told I have to call somewhere else, I did that, and I am still waiting for a return phone call.

Yes, we will wait for the assessment to play out.

Otherwise, not much else is going on at the moment.

I still have my medical problem, which i believe.is getting better, but while it is 99 percent better, I am still waiting for that 1 percent to kick in--

And as I look back, it is something that didn't have to happen.

I have been busy with work, and every day is a new day with exactly how much work I have to do.

Like the weather, it fluctuates literally by the day; sometimes, it is a little bit, other times, it can be several hours of things to do.

I guess in a funny way, it has been a godsend, taking my mind off of other problems.

Nothing is easy, and it is getting more difficult by the day.

But the weekend is right around the corner, and as I always have, I work for the weekend.

Maybe I can get a breather then.

If I can breathe at all.
