Throw Open a Window

Ah the sweet taste of spring. The sound of the birds returned outside. The gentle rays of sun warming the window panes, brightening the living room.

Almost perfect.

Save for the fact that breathing is difficult with the full force return of seasonal allergies.

Which is not even to mention -and yes, I am whining now - that I've been down and out with "the sickness" - for lack of a better word to explain why no one seems to know what's wrong with me ... in the medical sense - for these past 2 months with a winter cold that refuses to go away.

So the mere thought of the two combining quite frankly scares me in ways that cannot be mentioned. Because I know they're sitting back laughing just waiting to kick my ass.
