Dear So and So

[emily_in_nc]

((((Blueberry, Sky King and Sky King Dad)))). I'm so sorry for your respective troubles.

Me too! Virtual hugs coming your way.

Dear microbes/viruses that have inhabited my respiratory system:

You have so rudely interrupted an entire week of my spring break (so far!). I want to go outside in this perfect weather and ride my bike, maybe plant some tomatoes in the garden and get stuff done that I can't get done while I'm teaching. I have barely been able to get off the couch and I'm tired of coughing up your crud. GO AWAY!

Dear spring pollen,
How is it that you're already bothering me while it's so cold? No fair dealing with allergies on a day while wearing wool long johns!

Batten down the hatches, it was reported on the news last night that this is going to be a horrible allergy season.

"Going to be"? Two shots a week, three pills a day, eyedrops morning and evening and I can pretty much get through most days...

[Owlie]

I was hoping that since it was a less-mild winter than last year, that I might be able to function this year.
Time to experiment with different meds...

Well.... maybe it was a good thing I was still too sick to ride today with my group today. Apparently, just one block before getting back to the start, the lead rider hit a patch of rough pavement and went down hard, breaking both bones in her left forearm. She was transported by ambulance and had surgery this afternoon. Two other women went down hard enough to crack their helmets, at least one checked for a concussion.

Sorry to hear about all the allergy problems and more serious issues....
