Polluted Spring

The pollinated wind zips through the rustling trees into our home;
I sneeze.
My dogs are hiding in the closet;
Afraid of the whirling tornado of dust, dander, and debris.
My eyes are red and itchy;
I’m the real version of the actor portrayals on the RX commercials;
The ones that promise to cure your “dry, itchy eyes” but guarantee sever headaches, nausea, heart-related problems, suicidal thoughts, and potential death (in rare cases.)
This is the side of Spring that no one is talking about;
Still, I’ll suffer through the allergies whilst lounging at the pool––I’ve got to make hay(fever) while the sun shines!

Don't Get Snotty!

I'm convinced there's nothing worse than summertime allergies!

Yes, you may be able to prove me wrong...

But my point is CLEAR.

Unlike my nasal passages!

Where the hell is all of this snot coming from?

I blow my nose every three seconds, and still there's more?!

The most upsetting part is that I spend the majority of my day on the phone

or teaching class, and NO ONE can understand what I'm saying!!!

Then I lose my temper and get really SNOTTY...

Literally.

Ugh.

I hate summer pollen, dust and shifts in the weather.

But I do love the SUN!
