Allergies

Strange... I have a moment where I can breathe freely, and don't need to blow my nose! Or sneeze! (Although my eyes are itching.) I wonder how long this lovely state of my nose will last. There's nothing like allergies to make you appreciate a clear nose.

Since we switched to Comcast, I have Weatherchannel.com on my desktop. Tree pollens are super high now and have been for weeks. Fortunately, lots of the trees flowered already, so hopefully that stuff is done. Grass pollen is low now too.

It's also chilly here today, high of only 46 (which is kinda cold for here), that could be helping cause I'm sure your a little higher in temp than that, but not much.

I hate a stuffy nose.

I think it's currently the birches that are driving me nuts. The oaks haven't shown up yet on the pollen levels, and that's probably when I'll have to get out the mask and goggles. (There are a *lot* of oaks around here.)

I suspect that I've been inside for long enough today that my exposure from this morning has calmed down. I also washed my face when I got in, which helped too.

I've been meaning to ask you - have you tried nasal irrigation, either the neti pot kind or the pulsating kind?

Nope. I've heard you mention it, but I've never tried it.
