Allergies

This year is turning out to be a particularly bad year for allergies for me. I find it amusing (somewhat anyway) that I never had allergies as a kid, however, after attending CSU Chico (aka Chico State; as it says on the back of my Tacoma) I now have your typical seasonal allergies like so many others :(.

I will never forget during orientation at Chico when the guide was mentioning the great diversity of plant life on the campus. He said, "if you don't have allergies, you will ;)." He wasn't kidding as I soon found out during my first spring. Fortunately that first spring wasn't terrible, but what I found was that now regardless of where I went (Chico or elsewhere such as home), I had seasonal allergies!

Last year with the lack of rain I had no problems...it was wonderful! Though I would have preferred more water/snow it was nice not to have the allergies for the year. This year is turning into a real annoyance. Yesterday at work was a very long day...sniffling, sneezing, headache, etc, etc...it seemed like it would never end. I finally was able to get some work done, but ended up working till shortly after 10 pm in order to get more done.

With the Strawberry Fields Forever century tomorrow, I'm a tad bit worried. Might have more than sweat running off my chin ;). Lol, I know.....ewwwwwwwwwwwww!! That's what I'm saying :P.
