are you one of the 19+ million adults?

May 5, 2024

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, approximately 19.2 million adults in the United States alone are affected by spring allergies — also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis. That means I wasn’t the only American that awoke this morning with a stuffy nose.

What I didn’t know is that you’ll suffer worsened symptoms on windy days when pollen is more likely to be airborne. Like when I mowed just the other day. 🙄

Yesterday was a rainy, lazy day at the barndo.

No outside yard work or landscaping projects can be done in the rain. I was so lazy, I don’t think I even logged 3,500 steps the entire day! I keep waiting for Mr. Farmer to show up to cultivate and plant (hopefully corn!), but he was likely lazy yesterday too because of the rain.

Want to bet he’ll wait until I get the pool open so he can dust up the clean water? 🙂

Now you know: John Travolta was first considered for Forrest Gump but declined, opening the door for Tom Hanks. Bill Murray was also considered. Joe Pesci was a contender for Lieutenant Dan, but Gary Sinise got the role. Dave Chappelle rejected the role of Benjamin Buford Blue, thinking the film would flop.
