Grass Pollen

I've never thought I had allergies, but my general slight stuffiness this year leads me to believe otherwise. After clicking around on www.weather.com and following the "high pollen forecast" link, I see my home area is in a high grass pollen season from mid April to late August. Argh!

Well it isn't too bad really. Only twice this year have I had to resort to over-the-counter medicine to get to sleep. But as someone who never had to do this previously I find it really irritating.

It's been drier and drier each of the seven years I've lived in the Pacific Northwest, and my allergies have only surfaced over the last two or three years. Perhaps rain helps keep the pollen down.
