Allergies are terrible at this point (in general, not just me); the other day I walked out of my building and every car up and down the street had a visible layer of green pollen. achoo!
I'm not sure if it's allergies, or smoke drifting in from a Siberian forest fire (true fact, our weather people tracked the gunk), or dust kicked up from construction sites and badly placed sand volleyball courts, but my eyes are burning and my sinuses hate me.
