I get terrible spring allergies, with sniffing, watering eyes, and sneezing until I get a headache. I take medication for it, so I wonder how bad it would be without. This all started about 15 years ago and prior, I had zero allergies at all. It makes me really tired, as my body puts in effort to react to something it doesn't need to worry about.
Oh well.
Just add it to the already long and continuously growing list of discomforts.
But it is holding me back.
My capacity to perform has decreased, so I have been taking it a little easier the last couple days and focusing on the hard physical work in the garden, letting a few other things slide. The weather is going to turn cooler again and rain, and I want to get a number of things done before that happens, because I won't be able to do them when it is raining, and the rain will be good for the garden - if it is ready to receive it, that is. We took a big step toward that end today, planting an entire large garden bed with a range of plants that will hopefully stagger and flower from May all the way through to October.
I suspect that we are going to have to spend a few years adjusting to get it right, but at least we now have something to work with. And Hopefully they will take and grow and give us something greenish to look at during this summer too. Since we won't be travelling very much, the plan is to enjoy our garden and grill a lot of meat and vegetables. I am looking forward to sitting around with a glass of wine too. If crypto has a good summer, I might build a patio.
Do you remember how crypto was all "Lambo!"
I wonder if those people have matured much in the last decade or so. They were in their mid twenties to early thirties back then, so now they are fortyish and likely in different stages of life. Have their expectations and desires changed? Are they more like me where instead of Lambo, it is
Patio!
I have always found it a bit strange when people's desires from when they were younger haven't changed at all, because with more experience, more exposure, it just seems natural that we would "grow out" of some things and "grow into" other things. Some people seem to spend a lot of their time looking at satisfying their childhood desires though. It is a bit weird.
But to each their own in this case, and I know that there are plenty of people who have absolutely no interest in the things that I currently find interesting. Maybe one day they will, or maybe I will pivot to look into what they are interested in now, but the beauty of the world is, we don't have to do what others are doing. Though, a lot of the culture and trend content we are pushed can make it seem like we have to do whatever our group is doing, and if we don't, we are out.
But who actually cares?
Yet, no matter how many times people say they don't care - I only ever half believe them.
But that is another topic.
