When I left the U.S. to come to Poland I had the faintest of hopes that somehow the pollens, molds, and other things I'm allergic to would be just different enough that they would not trigger my allergies. It was a faint hope, but alas it has been dashed.
Given that the only places I can remember my allergies not bothering me (in my entire life) have been in the middle of the sea while in the Navy, and in Oman and Dubai (where at the time there was virtually no living plant life to generate pollen and not enough moisture to support mold), I'm not really surprised.
Poznań has had a fair amount of rain this last week. And one evening (Wednesday or Thursday) we even saw snow falling outside our window on the 16th floor at work. None of it appeared to reach the ground, but it was the first snow fall anyone had seen. But when the rain largely stopped yesterday and the sky started clearing, the sun came out, it warmed up a bit, and the mold spores lept into the air with joy so that they could be carried along to my sinuses via the wind.
Oh well, I can still hold out some faint hope for the Spring, can't I?? Have a great day everyone.
