I'm Allergic!

I am officially allergic to mold. Hooray! The allergist and his staff found it quite humorous that I was hoping for a violent reaction. (Which didn't happen; I had a moderate reaction to a couple of molds.) They were all very nice and sympathetic upon learning of the reason for my visit. My doctor is going to write a strong recommendation to the University of Richmond that they allow me to stay here for the sake of my health.

Went shopping today with Judy and Ben's sister Elizabeth. It ended up being an all-afternoon affair, but was quite pleasant and successful as shopping trips go despite intermittent rain (hmm, maybe outdoor malls weren't the best idea after all). I found some jeans and a GREAT black shirt. Fabulous clothes for the upcoming trip!!

Speaking of which, I am getting more and more excited for Russia. I can't believe that in a few short days I'll be there with Ben. Just have to get through a few hellish days of school first...but it's worth it because then I'll be with my babykins. Yay!!
