- Whew ! Unlike the gas prices, the weather temps are falling. Its now
going be around 102* for the week instead of the 117* this past week.
Today is being cooled down a bit with a nice moderate wind blowing
some of the heat away. Its actually rather nice outside if you dont mind
the dirt in your teeth and eyes.
I wish I could be outside just sitting and watching the wind blow things
around. But my allergies are starting to act up.
I noticed that after I recovered from covid, my allergies seem to have
gotten more sensitive. When spring started, I could feel and taste the
pollen in my lungs and throat. That is something that I would only feel if
I was in the middle of a flower field or a farm of citrus trees.
But I would feel its affects in the morning, waking me up. Its never affected
me whenever id be indoors. Today I can feel an occasional itch or irritation
in my throat, taste of pollen.
Well, enough of my lil rant. Hows everyone !

I finally got an appointment with an allergist a couple of months ago and he's trying to figure out what's causing all my crazy allergies. (He did a bunch of tests and believes part of it is allergies and part of it is I have an autoimmune disease that is causing the eye swelling.) He's prescribed three new-to-me meds, that don't seem to be working, so has started talking about a shot that he believes will work. It's just got to be approved by my insurance. So we're waiting for that.
Gas prices here still aren't as high as they are there. I paid $4.50 a gallon for mid-range fuel yesterday. It still took $60 to fill my tank.
I hope you're feeling better quickly.

@Plethos The allergies started almost 20 years ago so it might be difficult to remember what changed then but they haven't stopped, either.
No, my eyes are fine except they swell closed. (I turned all my screens black with white writing on them so my eyes don't get tired like people who look at white screens with black letters on them.)

allergies can be anything. from soap detergent to dryer sheets. wooden furniture or fabric. just try to think when it started and what has changed. are your eyes getting tired from blue light ? thats a new one due to all the cell phones and tablets we use now.

@much2say - ever hear the saying they have in the Victorville , upper desert area of how "the wind blows twice a year in the area. 6 months from the west, 6 months from the east." its true. i used to live in the Inland Empire area, i hated driving up the mountain to victorville and barstow.

I`m sorry about the weather there in your place. Our weather here is so nice that you can enjoy a good walk outside. Not too hot and not too cold just enough
