It's not a holiday until there's an epidemic about it

[featherynscale]

Went out yesterday to do the dreaded holiday shopping. I got about 60% of it done, but the rest will have to wait until next check, as I'm drifting close to broke now. Yesterday was apparently a good choice though, since it's apparently going to snow tonight.

Also, in the name of seasonal joy, I will share this with you. Last night when I was in Borders, I suffered from a lengthy fit of sneezing. I don't know what's up with that, but I've been sneexing constantly for the last several days. Antihistamines, decongestants, antiseptic nasal sprays all fail before the power of my sneezing. So anyway, I'm in Borders, I have an unpurchased gift under my arm, and I start sneezing. Not just like once or twice, but like twenty or twenty-five times. Eventually, I manage to break the cycle, and look up to see a ring of horrified shoppers around me, looking at me like, "Oh god, she's got ebola or something." So that's fun. :)

We were out eating and someone was wearing a really strong something, aftershave, soap, cologne? Anyway, it totally sent Josh off. Josh is one of those sneezers that are incredibly loud and sometimes juicy, his entire body takes part...snnnnnneeeeze. deafening. He actually had to walk outside to stop. The offending members of the table left and then he was fine.
