Allergies. I am SO lucky that I only have hay fever and a brutal allergy to cats, but it’s still annoying that my immune system can get it so wrong, so often.

A cat in the next room ain’t gonna do me any harm, but my body is so concerned that it will that it goes into hyper-overdrive to rid my nose of all the evil cat dander. Lousy histamines.
