Life back to normal
I don't recall having bad allergies when I was a kid, or even in high school but somewhere along the way I picked them up. For maybe a period of five years, starting when I was in college, spring would roll around and I would have a runny nose (but not a cold) and sore eyes, and wonder gormlessly what was up with that. Lather rinse repeat. It took a long time before I finally got it. Probably longer than I should admit. Duh. Even now, at thirty, I don't get it. My eyes hurt. Ow.
Work is slowing down, for what feels like the first time in six months. I'm catching up on emails, chores, cleaning, shopping, social stuff - there are people I haven't seen in months that I miss. I feel like I'm getting my life back, and it's awesome. I finally have time to think about my own projects instead of just those dictated by work.
My project launches on the 22nd. I've been working on this project for over a year. We've done a big release and a small one, but this release coming up - R5 - is a complete overhaul of a 500ish page site. It's been six months of development time and countless hours of planning and meetings and all sorts of other stuff. The technology has been frustrating, but we're almost there. I cannot wait until we launch. We're going to party like nobody's business.
After that, there's some fun stuff coming up. A girls' weekend in the very begining of June, weddings in July and September... throw a New York summer in there, too. And then there's the possibility of a big trip to southeast Asia. We'll see about that one, though. The jury's still out. :)

It's good to feel like life is calming down, ain't it? =)
Congrats on completing the big project! I know I always feel so accomplished when I finish a huge project like that here at work.
