The only good thing about today was that the Chicago Cubs had their first game of the season at Wrigley Field – and had a big ceremony before it because they won the 2016 World Series.

Spring Pollen Season – Day Fifty-Four
Although I’m not in a ton of sinus pain today, the pollen count is still more than high enough to mess with my allergies. I’m exhausted.
Spring Pollen Season – A Beautiful Day!
Today, the pollen count is a wonderful 5.4. I have no idea why, because it isn’t raining and it’s a little windy.

Ideally, we should have been picking up the lemons more often. But, its been raining a lot, and we didn’t, so several of them got moldy. Even so, there were a surprising amount of good lemons out there. We kept some for ourselves, gave some to the neighbors, and put the rest on a “free table”.
I’m allergic to mold. I remember telling my acupuncturist that I wanted to rip all the green out of the yard before the spring pollen season started.
