Oy, it's always a joy to bring up pollen.com and see Orlando in the top spot as the worst place in the US to be for those afflicted by seasonal allergies. The scale used to only go to 10, now it goes to 12 and we've been in the mid-11s this week. Tomorrow's only a 10, so at least there's that. I've been taking my daily Zyrtec, which does seem to help keep my sinuses from getting too clogged up. But when the pollen level gets this high, it does nothing for my eyes. I literally can't even step outside without my eyes starting to burn and itch and water, and then it takes a few rounds of Visine-A to make me stop wanting to rub them right out of my head. For someone who loves to be outside, why must nature torment me like this? I love oak trees! They clearly do not love me in return. I try to restrain myself from rubbing because sometimes I rub myself right into a case of pinkeye. But good golly it's hard not to rub when they itch SO BAD KILL ME NOW ACK

Sigh. What else is happening.. not much, really. Work this week has been okay, though I'm having to pick up the slack because the other half of my team has been out--last week it was because his mother-in-law was ill and his wife had to fly up to New York to see her, and this week he went to the conference in Nashville I sometimes go to. He actually had to leave that early yesterday to make it out of town before this winter storm hit--turned out to be a good idea, as his originally-scheduled flight did get cancelled. But he was set to take today off anyway, so he'll be back tomorrow. And it's about time!

I've been keeping up with Better Call Saul, which I'd very much been looking forward to. So far I like it. A colleague here thinks it's been a bit too slow to get going, and I do see what he means. But I still like it. It seems to be going interesting places, and it would appear it's about to crank things up a notch now that we're finally getting around to more of Mike's piece of the puzzle. Next week's episode oughta be a good one. And that bit in this week's with Tony the Toilet Buddy, hilarious. Also started watching the new season of House of Cards, and have not been disappointed. Good stuff it you liked the first two seasons.

Okay, back to work. I hope everyone is having a good week!

I want to see Better Call Saul so badly! It sounds so good. Love his character on Breaking Bad.

Sorry you're all stuffy and miserable. I'm so thankful I don't have allergies! Though Coal does... :/

Have I mentioned that Jessica (my roommate/horse trainer) is in Wellington? She's there with some of the horses she works with until April for the winter show circuit.

I admit BCS is no Breaking Bad, but Odenkirk is really good and I'm enjoying it so far. It does have some of the brilliance of BrBa, and I think it will be pretty awesome once it hits its stride.

It's weird, as a kid I can't recall ever having allergies. It's just been something that started maybe in my 20s, and seems to get a little worse as time goes on. And it's ironic because I love nature and trees and all the things that make me miserable this time of year. :/

I didn't realize Wellington was horse country! For that I usually think of Ocala, which is a lot closer to me. I've actually never been down there--the farthest south I've been is Vero Beach, which is maybe 90 minutes north of West Palm Beach. I really want to get down there to check out the Everglades and the Keys, though!

Ocala is horse country, too. But in Wellington they have the big show circuit in the winter where all the big name trainers go.
