Cough cough cough ... hack hack hack ...
That's me after spending 5 minutes in a client's home. After I got out of there and back on the road, I wanted to rip my clothes and my hair off and throw them all out the car window.
Peweee! I stink! I rushed home to take a Claritin because my sinuses were leaking down my throat trying to choke me to death. I next got out the Febreze and sprayed myself down to cut some of the smell. Yes, I know Febreze is for fabric, not humans, but I'm dying here and I don't have time to take a shower. I have plans to go to the early showing of Eat Pray Love.
I am totally allergic to cigarette smoke. I should have caught the clue when I was hospitalized in the first grade with asthma and pneumonia, encountering nothing less than a near death experience, but I was too young to realize my parents' second hand smoke was an accessory to the grim reaper. After leaving my parents home, and setting up house on my own, I refused to go back into their home unless they stopped smoking indoors. Thank God they loved me enough to make the change. Dear ole Dad completely gave up smoking at some point, and mother is still struggling to follow suit.
If second hand smoke didn't exist, I would be a better smelling movie partner right about now!

Oh I so know what you mean about the smell clinging to you!!! I HATE THAT!!! Make sure your date knows you weren't the one smoking!
ReplyDelete@Nikki -- Oh no worries, he knows I hate smoke!
ReplyDeleteI have been quit for close to 20 years, but I remember the first thing I noticed after quitting was how bad people and rooms smelled from smoke. I'm not allergic, but I don't like the smell either.
ReplyDeleteThe did ask this woman if she smoked after making love and she said she didn't know, she never look to see.

ReplyDeleteI've heard that if you smoke after sex you're probably doing it wrong... Just like when sex is a pain in the a**.
