I'm Allergic to My Job

I don't think it's a coincidence that the day I started working was the day I got allergies. I'm obviously allergic to my job (or I have a Pavlovian sick response to work). In an effort to ward off Neil's attempts to get me to a doctor, I decided to first try an over-the-counter remedy. All I can say is--Thank Heavens for Wal-itin!! Walgreens brand of Claritin has changed my life. My number of sneezes per day is down to two from about 40.

I think I better put some Wal-itin in our 72-hour kit. Now I can't live without it and have it on hand at work and home and just automatically take one with my breakfast. Our stake is really into emergency preparedness right now and so is our home teacher who looked with disdain on our pre-packaged 72 hour kit and suggested that we improve it. oh and get a motorcycle for easy transportation out of the state if necessary. I'm not holding out any hopes for getting a motorcycle, but I did make a lot of jokes about it when it came time to make a list of things we still need. Neil gave me a moment to change my attitude and get serious about the task, during which he came up with the brilliant idea of getting some t-shirts made for our kit that say: "(Our Last Name): Making the Best of It" because then we could totally be on the news.

Wow! That's just the excuse I've been looking for to convince the Nonny Spouse that we need a Motorcycle! It's got to be a part of our food storage! Genius! Sheer genius!

Thank you, Marcy Dibbleblotts, thank you!

You have to admit, that t-shirt idea is pure genius.

I could go for some Wal-eos and milk right now.

I love that t shirt idea. It's hilar. Now I know what I'm getting you for Christmas!

Well Missy...sorry about the allergies. I guess you guys will just have to jump on your motorcycle, assuming you really talk NL into it, and move to Utah. P.S., could you make copies of those shirts for Doug and I...and a little one for Miss Avery?
