I hate ragweed. I just have to say that. The headache is back. Not bad enough to justify going home and crawling in bed, but bad enough to be annoying and concentration-draining and to make me not feel like making the run to the Lowe's and the Hobby Lobby that I was planning on for this afternoon.

I'm also having what one of my colleagues calls an "olfactory day". That's when you can smell every little thing around you and it annoys the heck out of you. I almost had to ask one of my students to take a couple steps back from me when he was talking to me because I could smell cigarette smoke on him and it made me feel like I was going to be sick.
