I had a nice four-day weekend thanks to Labor Day, but alas, I was sick the whole time and am only now starting to feel better. How lame! Jessica thinks allergies might be contribting to my dis-ease, but I've never had a problem with allergies before, and they don't tend to cause fevers. No... I think it's more likely that my body is just missing that good old Los Angeles air.

hah.
But she may be right. You could have a sinus infection caused by irritation from allergies.... I always seemed to have them when I first lived in Pasadena. And when we lived in NC our dog was so sick with allergies we had to get her medicine that they prescribe for people who have recently had an organ transplant as anti-rejection medication and to feed her special food. Back in CA she's 100% perfect, no meds, no special foods.
It's bizarre the number of different things to be encountered in a different climate.
I'll vote with the women: Allergies are very region-specific. You've got different plants, ergo different pollen, ergo different allergies. It should get better slowly over the years, but for now just note the times of year when it strikes, and load up on your favorite antihistamine.
Interesting. I myself also got sick this weekend with allergy-like symptoms. Maybe there are a handful of times in the year when, due to some part of the yearly life cycle of some population of living things (like some kinds of plants), people who moved within the previous 12 months will suffer as their immune systems adjust to the new particles around them. If that is the case, I would think a lot of the new people at work would be absent, or wiping their noses. Hard to say, as almost no one came to work on Friday or today, due to the holiday...
But if you're sick during a holiday, it doesn't count, and you get that time off later, right? ;]
