Spring has sprung in the North.

And I hate it, lol. Everybody seems to just love Spring -- a time of renewal, the birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, all that happy hippy dippy horseshit.

But Spring means only two things to me -- tree pollen and misery.

Luckily, it's been unseasonably cold, so the pollen has been manageable, but soon it will explode. But I have Benadryl, Claritin, Singulair, and Flonaise nose spray at the ready, so bring it on.

1. Sorry you have to suffer that, I know it's not a small thing. I get irritated when other people say they love snow.

I usually spend spring with a constant sniffles, head cold, etc. Pick a temp and go there.

Don’t have springtime allergies but I sympathize with all of you that have them, my Dad was miserable with them.
