Lost in sneezy land! Awoke this morning mostly clear but as day went on sneezing and sinus drainage took over. Seems to be more of an allergic reaction (to what? to something!) and not a cold. I notice that no matter what I eat seems to trigger more of the reaction. I slept well last night and all the symptoms seemed to abate as I slept. But everything returned today as the day unraveled.

I picked up a USB thumb drive and started offloading files on my iBook. I'm settling in on getting a new Mac laptop. Looking at 13-inch models--either the Air, the Pro (without the Retina display), or the Pro with the Retina. All three have pluses and minuses with minor variations in what can be put on each device. I'll home in on one of these options and put in an order this week (plus or minus a continued sneeze attack).

Watched a film this evening--Look to the Sky. It was a story about a family from Holland who got sent to a work camp. The story was based on the recollections of young boy who managed to survive the ordeals. He ended up losing both his father and mother. It was a narrow cut at the events and atrocities of that period. It didn't say much about the larger context of that war and the things that were done by the Germans. Life in the work camp was harsh and cruel but everyone there seemed to have limited knowledge of all that was happening (as portrayed by the author).

C&M class tomorrow if I can throw off this sneezy/wheezy entanglement! We shall see (seezy)!
