Hacky cough, begin!

I have allergies. They seem to always surface in fall and early spring. It starts with a mass of crap in my throat and it drains into my chest. After a few days, my head/nose/sinuses get stuffed up, and it too drains into my chest. Eventually, I'll feel better, but I'll have a cough. It lasts.

And lasts.

And lasts.

Last time, it was around for a month, only getting rid of it after 4 visits to doctors. I'm made fun of at work for this hacky cough that lasts forever.

We didn't go to Charleston this past weekend (long story). That at least meant I could watch all of the Superbowl, and maybe get some stuff done around the house. I noticed there was some water damage under a gutter by a motion sensor light that afternoon, and I started fixing it. That entailed getting up by the gutter to clean to seal where the source of the leak was. While I was up there, I should clean out the gutters right?

Well, if you haven't cleaned gutters before, if you don't clean them regularly they practically become soil on the bottom. And with soil and moisture comes mold/etc. Guess who is allergic to mold?

I'll have the cough by next Sunday. It'll be March by the time it's gone too.
