all of london is sneezing

seriously. i know this is not a nice city for people with allergies (just ask my mom), but the majority of people on the train this morning sounded like they were in the final stages of Captain Tripps. most of my co-workers we sniffling and sneezing as well. apparently the pollen count is quite high today, and i hope this is the cause of all the mucous, because i really don't want to have a cold for my visit home! hrmmph.
