....but still coughing and hacking. the copious amounts of mucous that can be manufactured is not to be believed. today i joined an asthma support group on Daily Strength. i'm hoping that i am not the only one with this 'scentsitivity'. we'll see what comes of is. meanwhile, i am still angry with this whole thing. i guess what i ought to do is try and just accept it. but i do not want to accept that the world out there is not a safe place for me, (and lots more like me). you know it is not about the smell, right? it is about the hyper sensitive bronchial tubes reacting to the chemicals in whatever scents i come in contact with.
it is not like i put myself into situations knowingly, either. i mean, sure, there are places where scents are more prevalent (like perfume shops and fancy candle stores), the laundry detergent isle in the grocery store, the perfume counter at the drug store or Sears. i know to steer clear of such places. but i am talking about just walking down a street, or getting into an elevator. short of wearing a scuba tank, i am exposed. it is not fair for me as a tax payer and a contributing member of society to be subjected to dangers. any more than someone who is blind trying to navigate a crowded sidewalk. we all can do our part to make the world a safer place for those of us with disabilities. mine just needs more exposure.
i have to work from 4p-9p tonight. i really enjoyed calling on the day project, calling businesses. much kinder to deal with. the one i am on now, residential, and very difficult to deal with. meh, they get so many telemarketing calls they think that is what i am calling about, too. no. we want your opinion, not your money. and 5 hrs a shift is long enough to be calling on that type of project. anyway, make today GREAT~ poet.
