Yep, it’s springtime all right. How do I know this? (Besides the flowers, the leaf buds, and the warm[er] temperatures?) Easy – my allergies are acting up. <\/p>\n
I’ve been sneezing up a storm the past week or so; and not just random sneezes, either – the watery eye, itchy nose type sneezes that signal the onset of ALLERGY SEASON. Bloody pollen, mold, & dust. <\/p>\n
