nwhikerTuesday in part because DST makes for a sorry me. As a night owl, shifting my bedtime earlier doesn't work -I just lie awake for the extra hour- and wake up thus comes an hour earlier. Zzzzz....
1. Sunday dh and I got to visit with friends. It was just lovely. We've all been through some stressful times recently, so this was a welcome and so wonderful interlude in among life's other less pleasant times. Thanks for everything you-know-who-you-are! 😃
2. Since I've already ranted about DST, I can move on to the other unpleasant part of this year. Seasonal allergies. Mine start in the last few weeks of Feb and last through March. Sneezing, sniffling, red watery ITCHY eyes, yech. That was loads of fun in 2020, btw. I didn't go out even on necessary stuff because I figured I'd scare people. But yeah. I have drops for the hideous itchy eyes. Still not so much fun. I do need to start recording the date of allergy onset (like I try to record the day of the first trillium sighting!) for reference. It was about two weeks ago... And to my other reader 😀 I will always be grateful for the Zaditor recommendation. My sneezing etc isn't annoying enough to push me to systemic meds, but the itchy eye relief is so very welcome!
3. But Spring is slowly sliding into existence! I see it more at the university than at home yet, with the early dafs in bloom and buds a budding there. But still here, it's starting. The plums trees had an aura of pink in Redmond yesterday, the ones near me should only be a few days behind (we're typically a few weeks behind Seattle and a few days behind Redmond) and my early dafs have their heads and the forsythia is showing some yellow. LOL. I absolutely love the changing of seasons, even though I don't hate winter, and spring is such a beautiful transition!
