The Spring of Spring

You know the season of Spring has all these beautiful connotations related to it about new beginnings, blooming, fresh starts, colors and sunshine. I'm not saying that these things aren't really nice and positive but all I can think about as we start this season is how much my head hurts.

As this season emerges into it's place on the calendar, breaking through the crusty deadness of the remnants of winter, the flaky old skin of the earth reveals itself in the form of pollen. Pollen is yellow and yellow is the color I dislike the most. But if pollen was blue, I'd still hate it just as much.

It amazes me how much this yellow powdery substance can control so much of my life. I'm in a constant state of fog and haze while the vise on my head gets tighter and tighter.

Are you feeling my pain yet?
