How many times can I blow my nose today before it starts to look like Michael Jackson's?

I woke up this morning with a itchy, sneezy, watery-eyed attack, and it won't go away.

It's nice and warm today, but it's not spring yet. Is it?

Definitely allergies, because (and this is a little disturbing) my nose only itches on one side. It's like the Evil Professor Allergenizoid crawled into my right nostril and, with the help of his diabolical MucusMen, has launched a reign of terror.

I've enjoyed the blessings of my allergies for many, many years now, and today is just another in a long line of days where I feel like crap.

But I'm feeling upbeat and positive about it.
