May. 1st, 2020 09:33 pmCordelia's birthday is the 17th. I'm trying to think of a way to celebrate it that she'll enjoy and coming up completely blank.
We're not really in a position to buy her gifts the way we normally would-- mostly because we all agree that the things she wants are in no way worth anybody putting themselves at risk. I think I've got one book for her that I bought back in February when I saw it at a steep discount.
We'd normally go out for either lunch or dinner, but the places she prefers are closed for the duration. We could order from somewhere else, but she's been unenthusiastic about the idea. I think that a big part of that is the risk that, no matter where we order from, at least one of us will discover, when the food arrives, that it's not safe for us to eat. (Or, worse, we'll eat it and find out it wasn't safe after it's too late to avoid the consequences.)
I've been coughing off and on the last few days. I don't usually get that from allergies, but I'm almost certain that that's what's causing the cough. I've been getting this sort of coughing since last September's illness/allergic reaction/bronchitis, and I don't have any noticeable non-allergy issues. I'm just having stronger reactions to usual allergens and moderate to severe reactions to things that never gave me trouble before.
