The Itch

Made it through again and this time with barely a sniffle. And I didn't need a single pill. 

They said it was going to be bad season. (It seems that they say that every year.) They were wrong. 

July 15th ..... Yesterday .... the date I've identified over the years when my seasonal allergies end. 

Do these things go away with age? Can you outgrow an allergy? (I've had that in my head for years .... like I heard it somewhere.) Did the covid vaccines have anything to do with it? (My personal proposed theory. No research behind it.) 

And I managed it with discipline this time around. I hope it's ok to be proud of myself. I mostly kept my hands away from my eyes. That's always been the point where I break down and lose control ..... the hands rubbing the eyes causing the itch to intensify. Mind over matter.
