Keeping up with these blog posts is proving to be quite the challenge. Especially, since I attempt to journal the local happenings for locals and weekenders alike, not an easy task when one rarely leaves the house this time of year.
I take that back; I have been out. I have been receiving allergy treatments at the Sonora Allergy Center; isn’t technology simply amazing? I can still recall connecting to local BBS’s via a 300 baud modem — talk about slow. It would take ten minutes to connect to another telephone line, which scrolled red words on a black screen. We were enthralled by the possibilities.
It also beats the heck out of having allergy shots, inhalers and I believe taking Prednisone was the absolute worst. There are a lot of rules that go along with this type of treatment but the investment is small compared to the results. I’ve had two treatments so far, but I have already noticed a difference. I wonder what fascinating new things we will learn about the body in the next ten years.
As for the weather. It’s been mild, traffic has been light to moderate, we’ve had a few snow flurries in the late to early morning hours but nothing to write home to mother about. We’ve had the pellet stove stoked giving off a peaceful warmth. Call me crazy, but I just love the smell of burning wood in a fireplace, a pellet stove isn’t quite the same but it’s still nice.
Tomorrow the Celtic Festival kicks off — Friday is Family Day. We have plans to get treated again tomorrow, so it appears we may miss it again this year. Darn. If you attend, I would love to hear all about it. Drop me a line.
