OK. I'm back from my trip, which was mostly lovely. My friends are good, having grown into incredible adults while I wasn't paying attention, Boston was most hospitable and graced us with beautiful weather, and we had one of my Top 5 Best Dinners Ever (go here).
However.
My allergies were bad before leaving for Boston. They progressed to worse when I hit the combination of Boston pollen and dusty/moldy basement apartment (mostly the former, I think). Then, in our last 24 hours, I got MUCH worse, including a last night spent mostly tossing, turning, and sitting up to breathe better. On the flight home, which would have otherwise been lovely (go JetBlue, with your direct less-than four-hour flight and your in-seat televisions!), I was a fever-riddled sinus-clogged mess. Seriously, I sat in my seat and quaked. It was awful.
A trip to the urgent care later (as my primary care doctor could once again not be bothered to see me and thus is no longer my primary care doctor) I have an antibiotic, an inhaler, and a Neti pot. To go with my sinus infection, ear infection, and "bronchial spasms."
Have I mentioned recently how much I sometimes truly and utterly despise being me?

That does suck! Rest assured, though, I will be back in the area at least twice in the next year. Everyone I know is getting married there!
