Oy, Allergies!

This is a joke, right??

Remember those bad sinus issues I had for what seemed like forever back a few weeks before I moved to IL? They’re back. It’s irritating, but it doesn’t feel as serious as it was before. Last night before we left the Kobularcik’s, my nose was doing that congested-but-drippy thing, which is totally hot, I know….. [gross].

Neti time. It helped, sorta.

Anyway, due to the weather kids being off today, we had planned some sort of out-and-about to go to the science center, the zoo, or something somewhere in St. Louis. However, after waking up feeling as though I had a golf ball lodged between my nose and my eyeballs, we decided we’d just lay low until the church softball game.

The church we visited yesterday has its own softball team with a roster, schedule, etc., and Joe and Lorne wasted no time joining. Their first game of the season was today; the three of us drove out separately to watch the boys play. Laura, the wife of one of the other softball teammates, invited Sydni to play with her little boy and the two girls she was sitting that day. It was great to sit down and get some perspective on what she thought of the church. She had nothing but praises.

Unfortunately, Towerview lost both games [double-header], but Joe managed to make a monster catch just off the first baseline. He saved the ball, but also acquired a rotten looking scrape that’s about the size of my hand.

battle wounds

Post-game, we headed home to nurse the battle wound and call it a day. He’s off again tomorrow; this is our last lazy week for a while, so we’re enjoying it!
