Allegy Bliss?

I'm not sure what is different about this year, but my allergies really haven't been a problem, yet. And, the pollen count yesterday and today have been at their highest levels of the season. Today, I mowed the yard and spent most of the afternoon outside doing various chores. Not a single problem. Last year, on any given day that I'd mow the yard, my allergies would go bonkers. I'm still taking Allegra, but something is different this year. I have no idea what, but after a day like today, spending a couple hours outside should have sent me into sneezing fits, even with the medication. Weird. I'm not complaining, but just waiting for the other shoe to drop when my watery eyes and sneezing attacks return after being outside for awhile.

On an unrelated note, I had a great weekend in Colorado visiting family. It was a quick weekend, but a good one nonetheless. Got to spend some time just talking, catching up, laughing a ton, and just having an all-around good time. I didn't win the card tournament, I never do, but that's OK, sometimes the experience is just as important.

Now, it's back to work. I could use a good vacation, but that doesn't come for another month when we go to Vegas for a few days. Looking so forward to that, but until then, there is a professional conference that I have to attend next week, and I have a few projects at work that need my attention too.

Van,

My allergies haven't been too bad this year either and normally I am like you, mine go absolutely crazy. Its a nice reprieve. On an unrelated note I bought my laptop a few weeks ago and everything is going beautifully and tonight there are a few storms out there so I may get to try it out with that. I also bought an iphone yesterday. Pretty slick toy but at a hefty price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
