Some good news for a change

I have suffered from severe late summer allergies all my life. In my twenties, thirties and forties, my allergies were so severe between the last week of August and the first week of October that I would spend most of the time in bed, surrounded by tissues and sinus medicines. Some mornings when I woke up, my eyes would be badly swollen I couldn't open them.

But about ten years ago, the severity of my late summer allergies began tapering off, and they've been more bearable with each passing year.

This year, the August/September/October allergy season has passed almost unnoticed. I've had maybe three brief sneezing jags for the whole six weeks.
