The last thing I learned was when I woke up this morning and my eyes were itching like crazy, a familiar and unwelcome sensation that hinted at the changing seasons. As I rubbed my eyes and attempted to shake off the fatigue of the night before, I realized that this was my body’s way of signaling the arrival of spring. The blooming flowers and budding trees were beautiful, yet they also brought the onset of springtime allergies that I would soon have to navigate. With this irritating reminder, I started to prepare mentally for the upcoming months, filled with sneezing and sniffles, as I envisioned stocking up on allergy medicine and trying out various remedies, hoping to find some relief from the relentless pollen that would fill the air.
