Eugene is in the Willamette Valley which the native american's named more aptly "the Valley of Sickness and Death" The allergen counts here are insanely high and I've developed allergies for the first time in my life- brutal. I ran out of my medicine yesterday and this morning I wolk up with swollen eyes. I took the picture below after using my eye drops which brought down the swelling significantly but as you can see I'm still fairly puffy.
