11:58a - Ugh
A work crew is finally here, tearing up the moldy drywall and wood that have been damaged by years of floods and poor maintenance at our townhouse. It's good that they're working, but they're stirring up all kinds of dust and mold in the process, which have my allergies so far out of control I can barely think. And lucky me, I have two big deadlines by the end of the day.

Must go scrub my itching skin with a brillo pad now.
