AM- awake at 6:30am (PST) after a full 8 hours of sleep. Outside is partial sun, 36 (F)degrees feels like 28. All the autoimmune reactions in my body are ON this week. Yesterday, I added sneezing with allergies to the top. Took a tiny dose of prednisone to tamp it all down. This morning I am still sneezing, so I may need more…something just to function.🀧πŸ₯΄πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

AM- awake about 6:30am (PDT) after staying up too late last night. The last two nights I watched the 2-part BBC version of Crime and Punishment. It followed the book really well. However, if I had not actually read the book, there would be a lot of unknown and unspoken thoughts about which I would need to guess. In the book, it is not as much dialog as it is explanatory thoughts, particularly by the main character. But, all of the details, people, occurrences are the same and in the right places. The end is the same.πŸ₯³
Outside, this morning, I see blue skies with haze, 33 (F)degrees feels like 29, and HIGH pollen🀧🀧
