The Writes of Spring
During the next 31 days it will be time to spring forward for Daylight Saving Time, followed by Palm Sunday, St. Patrick’s Day, Spring Break, Easter and Arbor Day. Top that off with my favorite sporting event of the year, March Madness.
March is also the time to forget about the cold and ice and flu and prepare for a more common infection — Spring fever.

Like cabin fever, Spring fever can strike without warning and spread quickly. If you’re already feeling restless from being cooped up in an office or classroom, you could be feeling the onset of Spring fever.
Suddenly your eyes start searching for anything green. That is usually followed by an interest in spotting birds, butterflies and crabgrass.
Spring fever brings with it itchy, watery eyes, sniffles and headaches.
But the most dramatic symptoms of Spring fever are a spouses’ sudden itch to do spring cleaning or a desire to drive to a nursery to stock up on gardening supplies and spring flowers.
If left unchecked, Spring fever can escalate into painting and redecorating. Weekends that are meant as a time of rest turn into a time for do-it-yourself projects. A simple task soon involves flooring, tiling, lighting or kitchen remodeling.
There is no cure for Spring fever but there is something I recommend for the symptoms — watch two basketball games and call me in the morning.
