So I was at work today, walking across the street from one building to the nerdery and was just noticing what a beautiful day it was today. The sun was out, and it was warm but not too warm. And that’s when it struck me. I felt great.
For the first time that I can remember (and certainly the first time since before I was a teenager), I have had ZERO problems with allergies this year. No hay fever at all.
No sneezing, no itchy watery eyes, no congestion, runny nose, NOTHING.
Spring came and went nary a sneeze. Not even when I mowed the lawn (admittedly, I’ve been extremely lax about doing yard work this year)! I’m really not sure what caused this sudden change in my biology. I didn’t change anything, didn’t start taking anything new (although I bought Zyrtec in anticipation of the allergy fits that never came.
The only thing that was really out of the ordinary this year was my affliction with gout. I have a hard time believing that it would have anything to do with it, but I guess you never know!
Either way, this year has been a much welcome respite from my allergies. Maybe God just decided that I needed a break, to remember what it is like to not be allergic to the entire world.
It’s been nice.
