Air pressure changes does it to me too, and we've had that arctic band down on us for a few days - maybe that was the culprit. Oh joy!<br /><br />Is GiGi still feeling better?Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-33141085242097182842015-02-19T20:30:40.984-06:002015-02-19T20:30:40.984-06:00Last November, I had about four days of sneezing f...Last November, I had about four days of sneezing fits...unusual for me...then a tickle in my throat for a day and I was sure allergies were upon me. Went to bed that night and my nasal passages instantly clogged, which meant mouth-breathing only...not conducive toward sleep. That marked the beginning of my cold, but of course in hind-sight, my cold started with the sneezing. My sister in Kansas developed identical symptoms and finally called it "the cold" last week.<br /><br />So, hope you and anyjazz aren't succumbing to a cold, but don't be surprised. A cold...allergies...toss-up as to which is worse. Here's atcha for a speedy recovery, either way.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-32227924029478553542015-02-19T13:51:07.060-06:002015-02-19T13:51:07.060-06:00mike ~ Awww poor wee GiGi, please give her a hug f...mike ~ Awww poor wee GiGi, please give her a hug from me. :-) She must have snacked on something not quite right yesterday, without you seeing her doing so, perhaps.<br /><br />Chinese astrology - or at least the only part of it that's popular in the West - always seems to me to be just too broad to be meaningful. Heck, I grumble about persons described as "an Aries, a Pisces, a Taurus"...etc. so "a sheep-year person" would bring on an extra hefty grouch..lol!<br /><br />The "as above so below" swirl you mention seems to have brought on an "allergy episode" for me, and more mildly, too, for anyjazz. I haven't had a dose as severe as this for a few years (sneezing fits, nasal passages block etc. and general feeling of nasal blah).<br />I have to take a Zyrtec generic daily, have done so for years. Oklahoma doesn't like me much, it seems; the feeling is mutual. :-/<br /><br /> Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-43788887112189866182015-02-19T12:57:13.660-06:002015-02-19T12:57:13.660-06:00Happy year of the sheep (or ram) to all!

Not the most auspicious according to some:<br />http://www.aol.com/article/2015/02/19/happy-ewe-year-astrological-signs-bad-for-the-sheep-year/21144419/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl9|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D615553<br /><br />With the new Moon yesterday in the final minutes of Aquarius, the Sun now in Pisces, Venus and Mars in the last of Pisces (same degrees the Iraqi war started SO long ago) and both about to conjunct with the Moon in early Aries...a swirl of as above, so below is upon us all.<br /><br />My beloved constant companion, GiGi, fell ill with diarrhea and vomiting yesterday, worsened into the wee hours this morning, but all seems OK now. She's eating and we've gone on our routine walk. So, not the best start to these astrological changes, but has ended (I hope) well.mikenoreply@blogger.com
