Spring is Sprung

Spring is finally here and along with it is pollen, lots and lots of pollen, especially the pine pollen that turns everything yellowish-green.  Until it rained a couple nights ago, my car had such a thick coating on it you couldn't tell it was black.  I was feeling a bit under the weather, not really sick, but stuffy and just yucky.  Coincidentally, I had my yearly physical about that time and when she examined my throat and nasal passages, her response was Claritin and Flonase.  I was very red and swollen (I knew that) and apparently having a severe case of seasonal allergies.  More drugs for me!  I add another pill to my morning pile, and get to snort stuff.  Ahhh, it's all good cuz I feel much better.

Job hunting sucks, but I am finally going to interview with an oncology group in Norfolk.  Yes, I know, that's a long way from here.  It's pretty far from Williamsburg, too.  But Virginia has slim pickin's for nursing jobs.  I know this cuz I have worked with several people that moved down to NC just to work.  If I have to drive an hour back and forth to work, it won't be that bad.  I'll deal.  So, today is a travel day, and it should be a nice one.  It has cooled off and will be a great weekend.  Interview is Monday.  Wish me luck!

YAY for spring! I love this time of year, except for the pollen. Then the allergies start rolling in. My poor dog is suffering from them now. Was just in Seattle and it was very damp, but very pretty. My sister says that this past week was nice and sunny...figures! Hey, if you are in SE Va, let me know and we can meet up for lunch or something. This is Curvy, BTW, lol
