dear pollen, kindly leave us.

I want to go for a run outside. I’ve managed to go the last 2 days - but today is not looking good.  The wind is whipping up some mean looking pollen tornados out there. Here’s hoping that the forecasted rain actually makes it and washes this yellow mess far far away.

Update: I made it out for my exercise! I have a bottle of water in one hand and a hand towel tucked into my shorts.  Good thing I thought of that ahead of time, because just as I rounded the corner a neighbor (who clearly does not have allergies), was cutting his grass and didn’t bother to stop.  I SPRINTED through his cloud of grass and pollen.  His lawn mower was spitting chunks of dirt and rocks and me. Mean guy. Thankfully, my little hand towel came in handy when I needed to cover my face from this guys lawn mower.
