Allergies suck like a dehydrated vampire. My mother's advice is not helping - "take allegra. Now take Benodryl. And some Sudafed." The Benodryl made me a virtual narcoleptic, and the Sudafed, which actually did help a lot, will keep me up all night. The Allegra was merely useless. Lovely.

Camp is a dream this week, at least. Camp Iroquois ended last Friday, and this week is just arts camp. This means shorter hours, less work, and only thirty-six astoundingly angelic children. I would no doubt enjoy this all more if I didn't have such an overwhelming desire to crawl into bed and hibernate for a month.

It's been a good summer. But it needs to be over.
