When April began several weeks ago, it seemed so full of promise and opportunity and time. Time was what I was most excited about. I would have time to work on my play indexing, time to complete a few more book chapters, and time to exercise and lose those irritating pounds before my sister's wedding. Of course, that time was whisked away by planning for the impending construction of Starbucks in our reference area, reassigning reference books, countless meetings, a general slump in motivation outside of work hours, and a little bit of personal drama for kicks. Then just when I was recouping from all that, allergies hit with a vengeance, followed by a particularly evil sinus infection, from which I am just now recovering.
The bottom line is yesterday I finally woke up from all that yuck and funk of the last 6 weeks and realized that it's nearly mid-May already. How did that happen? I need that time back! No seriously, I need that time back. Somehow I don't think I'm going to get a rain check on this one. The coming weeks don't look good for productivity either. C'est la vie!
This post brought to you by the number 13, the color gray, and a general overwhelming sense of gloom and doom.

ah... ah... choo!
Spring seems like it is finally here. The weather has been bouncing between 40 degrees and rainy and 70 degrees and sunny for the past couple weeks. I think it has finally settled on being warm and sunny. Spring in Virginia always leaves me with mixed feelings. I look forward to the warm weather, but dread the pollen that comes with the new growth.
For a while I thought that I would luck out this year and not experience the torture of spring allergies, but alas, that was wishful thinking at its finest. My allergies reared their ugly head yesterday, making me increasingly miserable throughout the course of the day. My plan this year was to see if Zyrtec was the wonder-OTC allergy drug that so many people have claimed. For me the answer was a definitive no. I may as well not have taken anything, for the how effective it was. Oh well... I guess I'll have to go for the prescription-strength drugs after all.
On another note - to "celebrate" spring this year, I thought I'd give my blog a face lift. I'm not sure I'll stick with the current background, but maybe I need to let it be for a while to see if it grows on me.
