Light and sound were my enemy

I have love/hate relationship with this time year. I love what spring brings, warm weather, less rain and the expectation of summer being around the corner. What I hate can be summed up in one word, pollen. This has been my worst spring in terms allergies and today was one of my worst days ever. When my allergies get this bad they usually trigger migraines. When I woke up this morning I was greeted by massive throbbing in my head. Morning light felt like shards of broken glass being dragged across my optic nerve. The sounds of Jessie getting ready for work sounded like nuclear bombs going off. Work was not a option today. The only cure was a dark room with a blanket over my head.
