It’s been a good week so far with the U.S. Census work and the site. I’ve been getting a good amount of exercise with it and I’m learning more about the city. 

The problem I’ve been happening for the past month is dealing with my allergies. After several people recommended it, I bought a neti pot. I used one for the first time today to help with my allergies and sinus problems. I noticed a bit of an improvement with one nostril and the other is completely clear. 

By the way, I’ve upgraded the site with Thesis, but I lost the header. I’ve been procrastinating, but I’ll get it back either today or tomorrow.
