Got my allergy shots again today, and got to step up. One of the three is back at maintenance dose. The delay has not, mostly, been my reaction to the shots. It's been not feeling well enough to go in on Fridays, the one day I actually can go in (since the shot clinic is across the street from where our office used to be, and therefore nowhere near where we are now - I could transfer to another, but I like these people). Next time will be a repeat, though, 'cause next Friday is the Fourth and they're closed. And if you go more than ten days you can't step up. Still, I'm back at maintenance on one and I'm responding well to all three. Yay!
The back yard patio space is in, though it looks horribly unfinished without its plantings and such. The drip lines are in place, so we can water the plants that go in. Some of the plants are going in, but many will have to wait now until fall, 'cause they're not good for summer planting. (Pity May didn't give us three weekdays with clear weather; if the stairs and patio had gone in then, many more plants would've made it out before summer. Oh, well!) It looks scraggly and patchy, but then, it will; the plants are to grow into their spaces anyway, and only some of them are even there. The lilac is in the lower back yard right now. It goes in the upper back yard in the end, but we plan to have some deck work done, so the landscaper has put them in one of the open spots below until either the deck is dealt with or we decide not to (but given the way the developer built the existing deck, we really have very little choice other than how bad we want it to get before we replace it with something done right). The lilac, actually two plants, are precious to me because they are taken from offshoots of the white lilac on the Ridge, one of the plants that was "always there" when I was growing up (and one of my favorites: I love the smell). I also have, thanks to my childhood friend Luana, pinks that were taken from a patch that was in turn taken from the patch that used to grow at the Ridge. And some of the columbines that will go in were taken from the Ridge, where they were still growing in one bed. If I couldn't have gotten any of them, it would still have been nice to have lilacs and pinks and columbines. But to have plants that are descended, fairly directly, from the ones that grew at my parents' house - that's just really precious to me.
The cats are being disturbingly cute. I got up earlier than I wanted this morning (my body was being a brat), so this afternoon I napped for a while. Babe came and cuddled up with me and was just a darling. And Apple, not at the same time fortunately, has just been playful and funny. I love these crazy fuzzies.
Speaking of cats, I also love this lolcat from icanhascheezburger.
