April Wind showers and other things

The wind has blown constantly for several days and I am tired of it. I know, it usually blows here in EC but this week has been the worst ever. The flags outside my classroom window are flapping all the time. The pole shakes so hard I think it will fall down. I don't like the wind at all. It comes through the walls and makes it impossible to walk to the car. This morning we had a dusting of snow, which is much less than the rest of the state. This spring hasn't been fun yet. I hope it gets better.
I was waiting for the third grade April Fool's jokes all day but this class was pretty calm on the joke scale. One boy told me my shoe was untied. I calmly told him "Thanks" and just kept on doing what I was doing. He said "Darn it!" and I then realized he was trying to play a joke on me. It didn't work, did it?
We were talking about good April Fool's jokes and I remember one my dad pulled on me. Dad was still working in the district office so it was many years ago. We had a superintendent who wasn't really liked around the district, for various reasons. This particular year the state superintendent position was empty in the spring and there was a lot of speculation about who would get the job. I woke up one morning with loud knocking on my bedroom window. I jumped out of bed and looked to see who it was. There was Dad, all dressed for work, and it was still dark outside. I asked him where in the heck he was going already. He said he had received a phone call from the district superintendent and he (Dad) needed to get to the office to take care of things there. He then told me that Superintendent......had just been appointed the new state superintendent and we had all better watch out because he was ready to change the whole state system. He turned to hurry toward his car as I stood there in shock. Then he turned back and said "You had better check your calendar. Today is April 1st!." Then he jumped in his car and drove away. Of course, by then I was wide awake and couldn't go back to sleep at all. It was a good joke. He really got me on that one.
It is no joke that I am having troubles breathing again. Is it is the wind, a cold, or what? I worked myself off all the prednisone and have been prednisone free for about 2 weeks now. Does it have anything to do with that? Why can't I tell? Is it coincidents that I get colds and hard breathing 2 weeks after getting off the prednisone, or do I get the breathing problems BECAUSE I am off the prednisone? I hate this guessing! I am going to get a pulmonologist appointment, but do I wait without prednisone and not breath, or get back on the medicine? I don't like this at all. And that is no joke.
