My annual bout with ragweed or whatever it is has begun as usual in mid-August. It stays about six weeks, to the first frost or so. It's a mild case, just a sneezing attack every few hours, but what sneezes! Over the counter medicine helps a little. But I blow my nose, I sound a little nasally for maybe 20 minutes and that's that until the next one, so it isn't worth seeing an allergist for something stronger.

I shouldn't complain. This didn't start happening until I was in my late twenties, so I keep thinking maybe this is the year it will suddently go away, too. Not this year.
