> Just add it to the already long and continuously growing list of discomforts.

I'm starting to get there and I'm the only one to blame.

> flower from May all the way through to October.

That's already more than one can hope in finland. xD

I am worried about your allergy and yet you work in the garden, it seems contradictory to me, heh, heh, heh, heh. Well, you shouldn't worry about what others say or don't say, what's really important is what you think of yourself. It's like the famous question that psychologists are now using a lot: tell me which are the three most important people for you, I hope you tell me that the first one is you and the other two are your wife and daughter.

As we get older, bodily ailments increase. I was once told by a friend who has passed away: ‘If nothing hurts after 50, you are no longer in this world’. At least I don't get headaches.

Mine is still not Patio, and never was Lambo. It's "Bathtub!" now. But yes, when I was younger, my desires where totally different. I think it was "Attention!" more than anything. These days, I like having less attention and do things differently. We should put a timer on this post, so it pops up again in 10 years, and see what happened. 

My expectations have definitely changed. I am not expecting life changing wealth anymore with crypto, but it would be nice to have something to make life a bit more comfortable.  

yes.. thats so true.. why do we spent so much time and effort on childhood dreams?? what a mystery.

u gotta have ur priorities and it sux to get older at times, or to have life throw challenges in your way. Hope u feel all better soon. 😉☺️👊🌈

The photo looks a bit like a hand to me. 

>Patio!

I wonder if I am the only caveman here who had no idea what that is? I think so...

Your thoughts on spring allergies and their effects are so relatable. Shifting your focus to the garden and preparing for the rain shows how you’re finding a balance between managing discomfort and staying productive.  Even though I am not familiar with the flower it's looks nice especially on me I am into the flower. The change from dreaming of fancy things like Lamborghinis to something practical like building a patio is both funny and meaningful, it really shows how our priorities evolve over time. That's great, I like how you mix personal experiences with broader ideas about how people grow and change, making it easy to connect with your perspective. It feels like a friendly conversation, sharing simple but thoughtful reflections.Love lots...

I've been thinking about putting in a tiny patio. A tiny place for me to sit on a bench where no one can see me. I spent ten years getting the foliage just right in my Brooklyn garden so that when I put that bench along the north fence of my far back 900 sq ft yard, I would have complete privacy. Within a week of my installing a pretty stone bench back there, my neighbor to the north cut down the hedge just behind my wee bench, and my back was exposed. Why am I telling you this?

>I suspect that we are going to have to spend a few years adjusting to get it right,

It will take *at least* ten years, like most things, and even then you will change it constantly. Gardening is a slow motion visual art. 

>Some people seem to spend a lot of their time looking at satisfying their childhood desires

Imagination has been killed, our opportunities limited. 

>we have to do whatever our group is doing, and if we don't, we are out.

We are seeing a great deal of this behavior these days. Common sense is dead. 

You could always try without meds and see how you go seeing as you like testing different conditions 🤣

Or you could just not and say you did given you still seem to have massive symptoms despite the meds. 

One of my childhood desires never changed, I still want to be a comic artist/animator/something 😝

I have first discovered allergy in my 30s. I was under impression that I had an un-usually long cold that lasted for a month. And then someone told me that I probably have an allergy, that was a revelation :) 

For me any over the counter anti-allergy meds completely clear it and no side effects. I do notice I get more allergy if I am outside, so your gardening outside where you consume a lot of pollen might be counter-productive...

In terms of interests and Lambo or any other luxury vehicles. I guess I was born old :) I have always considered cars silly toys and have always been interested in real estate a lot more. This has not changed with age, but I am getting out of my real estate investments to reposition into a less leveraged state as well as for tax reasons.

Lambo - patio...same same.   Any desire or want can become a soul-deep *need* if it eats at you long enough 😂.    As a young girl, I only wanted a horse.    Since then, I've had them, and while I still love horses, that deep longing is gone.  Can't say the same for the Lambo😂

I just watched a movie about someone who had an allergy for 15 years due to something that hurt him psychologically. He eventually got better. My husband also has allergies when he has an illness, we previously thought he was allergic to sugar. I  hope you get better.

Allergies can be so draining. I totally get what you mean. It’s impressive that you’re still managing to get things done in the garden despite feeling rough and roughly coping with the allergies couple with the weather. 

I think people 'taste' or 'want' change with time or better still. i should say that human just accept it as they are since they couldn't fulfil what their dreams are when they were young.
