Summer is here. Almost. And that means, atleast for me, hayfever. Every spring, sometime in May, the birch tree starts to release it’s “venom” into the air and subsequently, my eyes and nose starts to itch. When I was young(er), this was a terrible time. Couldn’t be outside for any longer period of time without feeling like crap. Kid + nice weather + staying inside. Nope. Not that fun. Anyway, apparently this type of allergy can get better, and sometimes disappear, with time. Atleast it seems like my problems have diminshed somewhat over the years, and for that I’m grateful. Also, my problems are light weight compared to the problems experienced by those who have much worse allergies.

I’m broken! Yes. I am. *Sigh* It all started with me wanting to install a telephone outlet in our study. Didn’t want to have the DSL modem in the hallway. Right. Bought cable and other misc stuff and got to work. Somewhere between me starting and me finishing and plugging everything in, my knee got a bit upset with all the work out it was getting. Didn’t notice anything unusual the day after. The day after that – ouch! Bit painful. Weeeell, it’ll pass. Went to work, worked, went home again. Next day I had to go buy some strong painkillers and a pair of crutches. Damn knee looked like a football all this weekend. Anyway, I think it’s slowly starting to recover now. Wish me luck!
