Knee Deep in Pollen and Lovin' It



This is the view from my apartment and this time of year it is spectacular. I wish I had a better camera to capture it. Anyone who is from the Washington area will probably tell you we all have a love/hate relationship with Spring. There is nothing like the beauty of the Dogwoods, Cherry Blossoms, Daffidols, Tulips, and the near arrival of the Azaleas. Washington springs are worth living for. Now for the hate part. Just the other day I purchased my family pak size of saline spray for my nose to clean out my sinuses and keep them moist and irritant free. I sneeze 6-10 times a day, my car is officially chartreuse as opposed to black from the layer of pollen that isn't even worth fighting until June. I am always on the brink of headache that doesn't quite settle in and it makes me &*^#$%@ tired all the time. But it's beautiful, so I will break out the humidifier, spray saline up my nose, pop my Claritan and enjoy the view.

have you been to an allergist? you can get weekly shots you know, it might be worth it since you've got this pollen misery.

I actually went to an allergist last summer and I got stuck with 75 needles only to find out that I have non-allergic rhinitus which means I am not allergic to anything specific but I am irritated by many things. That sounds like my every day life.
