Been meaning to post this last couple of days, now that I am done with my exams. But I’ve been laid low by a severe case of hay-fever. Somewhere in the middle of the weekend, the allergy medicines just stopped working. I actually had to go and get new medication earlier today. The weather’s been gorgeous here, but my immune system, apparently, hates it when I’m happy. (Well, immune system, I hope you are happy when I’m done scratching my eyes out and you have to deal with gangrenous pus forming yellowish-green pools in the empty sockets…) I’ve also had some odds and ends to take care of now that exams are done. But hopefully, some time in the next couple of days, the new medicinces will kick, all necessary errands will have been completed, and and I should be able to get back to posting regularly. Jajabor too assures me that he should be back to blogging when he’s done with his paper.

For those of you who are fellow sufferers from spring-time pollen and suchlike - I’ve found out that irrigating your sinuses with salt water is excellent relief.  They sell these things at the pharmacy called “Saltaire’ that gently push water into the back of the nostril. Five minutes of this, and my sinuses felt clear and my breathing unobstructed for the first time in three weeks. Even my eyes stopped itching for about 10 minutes.  Being a lawyer in the making, I should probably add a  disclaimer or two here: You’d be a fool to follow any medical advice I give here without consulting your doctor. Don’t be a fool.
