Yup.  Spring is in the air in Northern California – and the snot is running down my face.

Ugh. Allergies.

Of course, first the cold-like symptoms of allergies scare you to death because you (or at least I) immediately think it’s Covid.

But as I’ve said before, you don’t get Covid in just one nostril.  One nasty runny leaky nostril that just won’t stop with the never-ending fount of slime.

Also, no temperature.

Just snot.  Buckets of snot.

And itchy burning watery eyes. 

Maybe in Tennyson’s day, Spring meant a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love; but all I’m thinking is when can I take the next Benadryl?  And how do I keep from dozing off after I take it?
