Non-Wiscon Travel Notes

pantryslutWiscon write-up, such as I can remember, will come later. First, a few other random notes:
I'm pretty sure I have pollen allergies. I woke up in Wisconsin with a headache and pressure in my sinus area. I sneezed a lot. My nose bled a little -- like I have cocaine nose, except without the drugs (darnit). Excedrin didn't help as much as it usually does with the headaches. I tried Claritin (expensive!), and that seemed to help. I think that's as definitive as it gets without a scratch test, yes?
I wonder, if I hadn't had my adenoids removed, would the symptoms be better, or worse?
My mother and my sister are coming to visit later next month. This could be fun (she said non-sarcastically -- I like my family).
I didn't think my sandals would be substantial enough to set off the airport scanner, but I guess the rubber soles are thick enough to warrant an x-ray.
Shopping for used books the day after the con, I ran across a set that I am simply dying to own. The World and Its People, in seven volumes, by Charles Horne, published circa 1924. Not very expensive, but best to get a paycheck first. It's full of lines like:
"[Eastern Siberia] is a land of hope, while most of Asia is filled with lands of dreariness and despair."
I think it may be a .sig quote soon.
It is hotter here in San Francisco today than it was all weekend in Wisconsin. It was gloriously sunny yet breezy in Madison; here it is dead air and heat. I think it's going to be ice cream at dusk for me.
Finally, on the airplane back home, I read Saffron, which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zille lent to me. My briefest of reviews: nice writing, crap history.

When you get settled in please give a call and tell me about your trip and all the stuff that was crap in Saffron [warm smile]
