Hello, I definitely hate winter. with a passion. even the mild winters we get here in DC. yuck. I hate summer too. here it is so damned hot and humid that it's not enjoyable. the AC is running all the time. Spring is OK now but I've had severe allergies to trees my entire life (15-year veteran of allergy shots and I'm still getting them) and I used to get asthma, sinus infections, colds, etc. The thing about bad allergies is how they make you feel that you want to die. Does anyone know what I mean? It is immensely irritating because everyone extrapolates from their sore throat/runny nose and so they think you are a weakling. They don't know about the congestion, flulike awful 'yuck' feeling, for lack of a better term, and the monster sinus headaches and accompanying stomachaches. Plus the burning eyes, ugh. Hey, did you know it's called 'fever' because the histamine reaction raises body temperature? I got a bunch of skin tests done and my arm felt hot - I thought the doctor heated up the serum - but he explained it was the histamine reaction. So that's why I felt like my blood was burning all those years! the spring allergies used to be called 'rose fever' interesting but useless fact. I love autumn 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' the weather is good, the sky is clear blue, the leaves are beautiful. And you know Christmas is coming, but it's too early for the frantic holiday rush. Perhaps not coincidentally, my birthday is in September. Do many of you have your favorite season coinciding with your birthday?
