Ah-Choo!

Every four or five years El Paso puts on a spring that really causes me to suffer. Yesterday was the beginning of an epic allergen/irritant attack, probably due to sand and smoke being blown our way from a fire in Ruidoso, NM.  Kris has been nothing but sweet as he has endured my misery.

During one long bout of loud sneezing he said, "Oh, there she goes again. Put a lid on it, sister." 
It was hard to sneeze and laugh at the same time.

As he peeked into the room where I was lying with a cold cloth on my face and a wastebasket full of used kleenex by the bed, I heard him say, "Poor Laurie...(indiscernible mumbling)....sneezing." in a quiet and concerned voice.

When Keven came home he told him, "Don't go wake her up or she'll go back to work!"

Later this evening he came down to the kitchen while I was getting some water and said, "Here, you need this," and he handed me a Hall's cough drop. And it helped. A lot.

Sweet? Oh, yes!
