*Dust in the Wind* (allergies, rating, humidity)

[londonbarcelona]

Oh my G-d! Could the air get any thicker than today with all the dust in the wind???

My allergies have never been this bad before! Goodness Gracious!

I wake up and my eyes are all itchy, my daughter's are crusty shut, my nose is bleeding, my throat is just about closed up! We are both sneezing in unison! My head has been pounding non-stop for days!

I love the sunshine, but oh, what I wouldn't do for this wind to die down! Did you see how red the sunset was last night? Afterward, the clouds looked dusty and even the MOON looked blurry!

I was hoping that with all this rain, at least the desert in bloom would be spectacular, but I haven't even seen much of that. What happened there? Is it too early yet??? I thought with all the rain we had this past winter at least there would be beautiful blooms gracing the roads for me to admire while I'm blowing my nose!

It did not rain in March chocking off the spring flowers and drying everything out. We are doomed. I agree, it's been nasty. Humidity has been running a whopping 2% in the afternoon too. The wind should die down for a day or so before kicking up again next week.

Well blame the weathermen, that's what everyone does, never mother nature. Funny you mention those non exsisting flowers. A month ago the desert was blooming like crazy with an abundance of beautiful clear sharp photo opportunity flowers.

That's what I love about you! You're always so positive! Ha ha ha.
Well, I'm off to the doctor's to ask what to take since the headaches are quite bothersome. I've always had "some" reaction, but this year it seems so much worse for me. Anyone out there who's allergies are actually BETTER because of the rain? I suppose that could happen too!

Really? Darn, I must have missed them! Don't get me wrong, I see blooms around, I was just expecting this big fireworks show.
I must have not gone in the right directions.
Bummer. I know how pretty it can be!

I feel your pain though. My allergies got bad up here too 2 weekends ago. I was sneezing and my nose itched almost non-stop all day, and my eyes were watering like mad. My allergies havent kicked my arse since then, knock on wood.

Yep it's been horrible for the past month. My allergies are the worst they've been in 13 years. It's BRUTAL! 100 plus temps will be a blessing in disguise.
