I really wish they wouldn’t, as they have one singer in their choir who is just gratingly out of tune, to the point where I try to shut our windows in nice weather to block it out. Seriously, if I were a member there I’d probably go to a different service or different church entirely.

When I was growing up, the church chorus had this little old guy who had the most annoying quaver in his voice because when he was younger the strong vibrato was apparently popular. Unfortunately he didn’t seem to have an inside singing voice. _sigh_

I am not looking forward to forsythia season, which is coming soon. I am allergic and I really don’t want to spend a month of misery. With my heart, there are a fair number of allergy meds I can’t use because they combine badly with my other stuff. \<snorfle\>

And why in hell did I manage to get a cat that was not only suffering hay fever, but seems to be allergic to mice? Every time she sharks part of a mouse off the kitten or catches one herself, she eats it and I find upchucked mouse on the floor next to the bed. _sob_
