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. :)

The air gets so damned dry.

People who are from here laugh at you when you say that, you know? They think it's humid.

That's okay, let them laugh like a pack of hyenas sharing a tank of nitrous oxide, I lived in Florida for many years, and I know humid.

I'd pay good money to see you laugh like a hyena on nitrous, actually...

I'm fairly certain you'll have to get a tank of nitrous, and possibly a hyena mask, first...

I support it. If there's anything our household needs, it's nitrous!

I miss the humidity! I forget what it was like to have lizard skin and get shocked every time I touch something. It was a nice kind of forgetfullness.
