- A LOT of my friends on Facebook will either complain about the snow/rain/wind, or cheer about the beautiful, sunny, warmth.
- I will get sick.
Now it's Spring again, and on the one hand I'm glad that means I get to start wearing skirts and short sleeves and spending time outside again.
On the other hand, pretty as they may be, I'm not excited about the trees and flowers blooming and pollinating. I was so whacked out and stuffy last week that I couldn't concentrate at work. I called in sick and spent a good deal of time in bed. Sadly, that's not something I can do continuously from Spring through Fall (well, I could, but I don't like working from home if I can help it).
I don't mind snow. I don't mind rain, and I don't mind sun. I live in Utah, and each of these options are pretty standard and wonderful in their own way. It's the rapid change from one to another that kills me. I know I'm not alone. I'm so sorry that so many have to go through this with me!
As far as chronic "illnesses" go, I'm aware this is a mild and very manageable one. Even so, it's obnoxious!
Hope Spring has been nicer to you than it has been to me. What has been your favorite thing so far? What are you looking forward to in the next couple of weeks?

I have pretty bad allergies, too. I used to have to skip my vocal final each winter quarter (back when the U of U was on quarters instead of semesters) and sing for the faculty the first week of spring quarter just because my throat was raw from post nasal drip (sorry for the TMI). It's gotten better since I don't sing as much as I did while getting my degree, but I still get nervous any time someone asks me to sing in church during the spring and early summer. My sinuses usually start behaving around the middle of July. :)
I'm an equal-opportunity allergist. I seem to be affected by anything that grows out of the ground and produces pollen.
That's not too much information :)
I usually don't have troubles with my voice because of the allergies, but some of the medication is making is scratchy and irritated, though solving most of the other problems. I took a break from it for the run of the show, but I think it'll help when I start up again.
