Two things that do not go together: a terrible allergy season and law school.

Since Saturday my nose has been running, my sinuses painful, my stomach churning (thanks post-nasal drip!), and my throat all kinds of scratchy. My body desperately wants me to just relax a bit, but there's not time for that nonsense. D came home on Monday and I was (and still am) uber excited. I picked him up at the airport and got to see some beautiful pictures as well as receive some great gifts (I bought him groceries to kick off his week right and made him dinner...whoa accomplishment). All weekend and throughout this week I've been steadily working as much as I can. I slacked on writing a couple of briefs (ok, so more than "a couple": 2 for torts, 1 for civ pro, 1 for property---but I did right that. I've just finished writing my civ pro brief and will do my torts and property during my 4 hour break tomorrow), but have kept up with all the reading/concepts. I even managed to be not too bitter when peer editing a classmate's memo.

If this experience has taught me anything, though, it's to suck down echinacia (sp?) like it's my job, wash my hands often and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables!
