For the first time all week, the curtains were open when I awoke this morning. (Damn painters.) It was still early enough in the day that there was a lot of sunlight spilled across the mass of green maple leaves in the woods behind the house.
A steady mist seemed to be falling. I blinked, trying to decide if it was raining. The devil beating his wife, something my dad would say when it's raining while the sun is out, what a bizarre saying.
I focused on the steady pervasive mist. Yellow particles.
Not rain, pollen.
Oh, fuck.

Well, that's not fun. Do you have especially bad allergies?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teenager they were horrible, but I seem to have grown out of them to some degree. Sinuses cause me more trouble now. Yesterday I felt all right which was a pleasant surprise.
