Allergies and Whatnot
Yesterday proved wrong my theory that I wasn't allergic to cedar, seems I simply hadn't been outside more than 5 minutes in the last few days until then. Cedar has been at record high levels recently and surprisingly I have been fine. Well slight issues with runny nose but otherwise good to go so I figured whatever my allergy issues were cedar wasn't the culprit or at least not the main offender. Then we spent yesterday running errands, outside. By the time we got home and settled in I was miserable, my eyes, my poor sad, itchy burning watering can I just claw them out now please, eyes. And I have yet to understand how one can be stuffy and runny simultaneously, grr. By early evening I was officially unwell with a headache to boot so I dragged my sorry ass to bed about 7pm. Which would explain my being awake at 4am.
One fun errand yesterday was obtaining our marriage license. I must say TX marriage licenses are way prettier than NC ones. mind you for what they cost they bloody well should be. A cool thing was once we got the license the clerk also gave me a website with marriage info so curious I went to it. They had a workbook with decent questions going over different aspects of what marriage means to you and your partner and breaking it down in sections, money, children, faith, dealing with in laws... so that you can compare and contrast your ideas on the various topics. It also gave a brief primer on TX law about community property, child custody, child support, spousal support. I must say the state is certainly making an effort to have people going into marriage aware of what they are getting into. Since it's not mandatory I thought it was cool, if it were I would have felt very put upon and that there was entirely too much government interference on a personal decision. Anyway now we have the license and the date set so I can put my energy into the time honored tradition of worrying about what to wear. We are allowed to take as many pictures as we want in the courtroom (in the allotted 30 minutes) so I would like to look nice but not too fancy. I wonder if the judge will be willing to take at least a few couples shots... since you don't need witnesses I'm sure we wouldn't be the first to ask. Maybe we can get a friend to go with us just to take pictures, hmmm.
Bleh my head is still pounding, more drugs, more sleep both? Hot chocolate! Because hot chocolate is the answer to everything that isn't answered by 42.
