Wednesday November 9th - Cold, Dark, Gloomy

I love watching the snow fall, and the quiet stillness of winter. I love the way the snow sparkles in the sun like thousands of tiny diamonds. I just hate the short days. Summer drives me crazy because the days are so very long. The pollen rarely bothers me anymore. When I moved here 11 years ago (!), the usual antihistamines are simply not available without prescription, and even then the doctors don't like to prescribe them. You don't see anything in the grocery stores/convenience stores for allergies or colds, and there is very little available over the counter at the pharmacies. It took me about 6 months of agony, but I finally got used to not taking that stuff daily. I might get a runny nose during birch pollen season in May, but it doesn't last and we do have birch trees all over the place here.
