Open Windows

I was feeling just fine. Then on Tuesday at precisely 7:45 PM it hit me all at once. I was sitting quietly at Bible study at a friend's house when suddenly my eyes started burning, my throat started tickling and my nose became all stuffy. I've been afflicted with this ailment since then but I have moments when I feel completely better, leaving me to believe I am on the road to recovery. Minutes later, I feel horrible again. Also, I seem to get worse each time I venture outdoors. Is this allergies? I have been out of the country for so long and out of this state even longer that I do not know what to expect in the spring. The weather's been nice and my windows are open. Enjoying the breeze has been pleasant, especially on my pocketbook, but it is not worth feeling so rotten. This is the third time this year that I have been sick. I'm trying to determine if it's getting used to new surroundings or being in the schools around so many colds. Ugh! Sorry to whine . . . How's life in your neck of the woods? Are your windows open?
