Monday Sneezing Fit

     I do not know what set it off, but I woke up to bouts of sneezing fits this morning. Is there something germinating widespread right now that is a new to me allergy trigger? I get this allergy reaction in May as flowers bloom until things seems to settle, and then ragweed season in August will send me into repeated daily bouts. I don't recall a June allergent attacking my system before. I feel like I should wear a mask inside my own home today, but minimally, I'm wiping things down even more so. We need milk and deli meat but I won't dare venturing out even for a brief errand today. I don't want the looks a sneeezing fit might create, but importanly, I would hate to take my gerns out there even if wearing mask. We have had the central air on, but DH just recenlty  changed and improved filters so I don't think that is the cause. Well, it's Monday and a new work week so I best carry on, sneezing or not, and have plenty of tissues on hand.

     Father's Day was nice. I made the pie, which was not the best as it didnt set well, but it tasted OK. We had that later afternoon after we had a picnic at the river and wandered down town a bit. They still had a section closed of for the bars and resturants that had expanded for outdoor dining. DH and DD2 watched a movie together last night while I read in another room. We have a quiet week, though with my Thursday off, that will add something new. I'll likley pay for it on Friday with a stock pile of e-mails. I haven't even looked at the weather, but hope it's conduscive to being outdoors. I wouldn't mind getting back to the tennis courts and I know the girls want to paddle board after work. The college kid will likley have plans to meet with friends either here or out of town from college, but in the area. 

     Over the weekend I had major news we were semi planning for, but if not formally decided by June 30th a significant problem would  happen to a sector of people receiving program services on July 1. We've been preparing for the policy  change, and preparing for it not to go forward. Now with just eight business days, we finally can settle into the direction that will in fact be the new policy for the next four years. I will be swmaped this week, and this, plus a related change are two pronged. On one hand, there will be releif that a benefit for many will not change. On the other policy, while benenficial to a small group and has no impact on others, it is a complex forecasting  process with our funding. The burden is purely administrative, which is good, but challenging. I am actually pleased with both and happy to at least have a decsion made. The limbo was stressing me out.

     I'm off to fill my coffee cup and take a Claritan and cross fingers for relief. The work above isn't going to get done by itself. I hope you ha a good weeeknd and feel ready to tackle whatver you Monday brings.
