I always forget

impyI always forget that Fall brings allergies like Spring. Right now I'm doing okay but that's literally a development as of 20 minutes or so ago? I'd tried picking my walking back up due to the nice and cool weather and I'm guessing yesterday's walk was a bad idea given the yard work going on and all the dust blowing around because at some point yesterday afternoon my head started to hurt. I chalked that up to caffeine withdrawal and tried to remedy it by finishing off one of my Dr. Peppers and taking some not-Tylenol. Yeah, the headache receded enough to kick in my sinuses screaming my face off, so I tried sleep. Which didn't work as well as I hoped, though at some point it did die down enough for me to get up and shower and begin today.
Yeah, it roared back to life and not even the ibuprofen could deal. I have NFI where the benadryl is, and couldn't take it anyway because Mums and I were supposed to hit the store but she also feels like her sinuses are under attack, so she dosed herself and will wake up to try again in a bit.
I did my nails and tried to watch the new Monster High movie. It took eons to actually get the movie to work (wtf, Paramount+?) but I did and um... I still think this version of G3 is adorable. Frankie remains my favorite while Lagoona remains criminally underused. I expected more from Toralei.
One thing does bug me, though I do think they tried to address it. Draculaura has left MH to go and try to make peace with the witches, but refuses to come home when Clawdeen and Frankie ask her to before she gets busted by her father and risks expulsion from the school. I really liked the fact that it wasn't framed like Draculaura was in the wrong here; if everything had been on the up and up, she was on the cusp of changing the world for the better, right?
So why does she cave when she sees Clawdeen losing the prefect race? Her returning to school won't win the race for Clawdeen and the witch/vampire peace treaty is still important. This immediately doesn't matter because of course the witches are lying and using Draculaura (way to play the long con, Z) but it still felt...weird.
Damn I wish the animated episodes were easier to hunt down without having Nickelodeon or having to buy the season on Amazon.
Also I knew I'd walk away wanting MH dolls.
