My day usually starts with a sneezing fit. Some days are worse than other but today was particularly bad. I didn’t count but I probably sneezed somewhere between 30 and 40 times.
Yesterday a friend gave me a bouquet of flowers and I put them on the desk in my office. Having many allergies, I should know better than that.

Did you know… people say “Bless you” when you sneeze because it makes your heat skip a beat and in the old days people believed that this one skipped beat was enough to let evil spirits enter your body so they would quickly say “Bless you”.

Since I work with Chinese folks I can tell you though that they don’t say anything in China when you sneeze. They just ignore it.

You? Do you have allergies?
