Do you suppose there's such a thing as sinus transplants? I just really need the linings, I think the rest is fine, but dear gods if I don't stop sneezing today I'm going to cry. What the fuck is in the air right now, and where is it so I can go stomp on it for a while? Ugh, if this doesn't let up soon I may take off early so I can go sit someplace dark and quiet with all the windows and doors shut.

Anyway, aside from allergies that seem determine to do me in, mostly all is well. Dance class was a good hard workout, though I just feel like I don't have the moves even a little bit most of the time. Must bring omis up to speed, must work on nice sharp hip movements, must figure out intricate and arcane footwork, must continue to convince myself that I won't always suck quite so badly at this choreography. Must also pick up my veils and dance with them this week, for I have been naughty and lazy of late and I'm sure it's going to show.

Alyne shared with us a concept she's got for an original choreography and I think E-, caredhel and I were definitely into it. She wants to throw more Tahitian style movements and some floorwork together to create something rather unique to bellydance. Being a Gemini (and therefore of the "innovator" bent) I'm down with it. Then again if Alyne asked us all nicely to walk on a bed of hot coals for her I probably would at least give it serious consideration.

Speaking of dancers I worship, considered seeing Souhaila again this weekend, but I'm not convinced I want to give up my entire weekend again. Downtime, at least a little, is sounding mighty fine right now. Apparently she's also teaching up in SF, but her rates are a bit pricey and she's really strict from what I can tell. I don't know that I necessarily want to learn from someone who disallows coin belts in her classes. And gods I can only imagine the mob scene, it'd undoubtedly make Una's classes look empty by comparison. Nah, I think Alyne is the perfect fit for me and I'll just continue to watch and admire Souhaila.

I have no idea, but I am afraid if you went to stomp on it wearing anything less than a spacesuit, it would only make your allergeies worse, and that would make me sad.

Do you have a HEPA filter for your house? That might help, at least at night. Or, if it's just as bad, you may want to try dragging it in there.

(We have a guy here at work who was so allergy stricken last year, be brought in a big HEPA filter in the office for when he's feeling particularly allergenic.)

But it would also be incredibly cathartic, and at this point I'm not sure my allergies can get much worse. I mean I feel like I have a cold I'm so stopped up, except my eyes are all itchy too so I know what it really is. These are the days I'm very glad I don't have contacts.

It's certainly on my list of things to purchase at some point, I may look more seriously into one if this keeps up.

HEPA filters are purchasable at Costco, Target, and Orchard Supply for relatively cheap. Relatively speaking for what you'd buy it from some place like BB&B or something like that.
