it's easy to be sneezy

I am a holy man.


Honestly, over the past few days I have become the most blessed man in Davis. I am Saint Pete. Everywhere I go, people bless me, whether I'm cycling past the trees, eating my lunch, or just blowing my nose. My hay fever is kicking in like an angry mule, and the hot pollenated Yolo County air is not helping one little bit.


Over the weekend, in the smoggy LA area, I was actually fine - it completely cleared up. Not a sniffle. Now I learn that Davis, in the bowl of California's Central Valley, is one of the worst places imaginable for allergies. Oh, brilliant. What are you taking for it, they ask, but allergy medicines do not work on me. I'm trying a new herbal nose-spray, called XClear, which by the name sounds like the stuff they are giving X-Men to cure them of their mutancy in the new movie. So far the effects have been fairly minimal. My body feels like I've been beaten up, which effectively I have, by a bunch of weeds.


And then, the final irony, in one of my training classes today I actually won a prize - some flowers. Nice, thanks for that. And I've got another month of this I'm sure. Better say me prayers.
