I Didn't Have My Phone On Me, But am Thankful for the Internet for Coming Close to How Adorable a Stuck Sneeze is (Karal was Hilarious)

Karal has this routine where she likes to curl up at night to fall asleep. I'm usually watching basketball, or reading, or consuming volleyball matches, and it doesn't matter what I'm doing...when she's ready to go down, she wants onto my lap. 

But as she was trying to climb into my lap the other night, she got not one, but two sneezes caught before they came out and she made the most hilarious faces. Her lip caught onto her teeth, her nose was crooked, and she simply looked as if, "Why isn't this ha-choo coming out like it usually does?"

The look was precious, but I didn't capture it. I did, however, look up stuck dog sneezes and found one photo that was somewhat close. I am going with that. 

It really is a precious look, and with the two of us stuffed up, I can totally resonate. I jumped back into grant world yesterday after doing two interviews for faculty searches. I'm glad I crock-potted meat for the week so dinner wasn't a problem. Also helped Paul, the neighbor, to bring packages into his mother's house....she passed, he's in NYC, and he's having deliveries sent for later this weekend. I forgot he gave me a key.

I believe the arctic temperatures are going to depart today and that is very much welcomed, and I wonder if all the snow will melt before I make ti to Syracuse (sneezing dog and all).

I have to wrap up several items today and start to think about the week in Syracuse, hoping I can stay atop of the cold before it knocks me down again. 

But that dog face...pre-sneeze and stuck. that is absolutely precious.
