Allergies Attack!
When we get rain in Austin -- and we've been having drought conditions -- love what it does for my yard and plants. Hate what it does for the inside of my head and general health.

The mold blooms something terrible, and I get horrible sleep, pounding headaches, red eyes, sometimes tearing like I'm crying. Man. And I creep around. Barely get home from work, and I have to sleep for 2 hours! Which is bad anytime, but now it's critical I finish my CAN'T SAY NO script for the Austin Film Festival. Final deadline? Monday, June 8th!

So this morning I emailed in sick. My headache was so bad it had made me pukey. In fact, I didn't eat anything today until 6pm. And I amazingly crashed to catch up on sleep and was knocked out until 2pm today. I think it helped I turned on the ozone machine in my room, together with the HEPA filter, I was finally breathing some mold-free air.

Then from 6pm until now, I've been coordinating the Michael Hauge workshop and closing in on my final screenplay draft. Procrastination -- it's an addiction.
