I love spring. (Part of that is that I hate the endless rain of the Pacific Northwest.)
But the flip side of this coin is that lately I've been suffering from the worst allergy attacks. Apparently we are going through a 10-yr high of pollen right now and I'm feeling the effects. Two Allegra per day (can you believe $40/bottle?), plus some Loratidine and some cough suppressant and I barely feel human.
Makes me wonder how human beings develop allergies (I didn't use to have any). I'm not sure allergists even understand this. I've asked a couple and apparently it is still a mystery as to how we develop an allergy. They understand how allergies cause the body to react but not what we do to develop the allergy (or what is done to us, perhaps).
Never thought I would pray for rain. That is some kind of ironic given how much of a sun-lover I am.

I never used to be allergic to taxes.
