Today, someone offered me an item, which was so kind of them, but right away I knew I couldn't accept it, because I could smell moldy type smell on it.  Paper & fabric are the worst for absorbing smells such as perfume, smoke, mildew or mold.  And it is almost impossible to wash it out.of fabric, forget about paper.  I also have trouble with dust & inks.  So books & magazines are so hard to have around. 

Not just when people offer me items, but being near a person who has smoke or a musty smell is impossible.  I have to say, there have been many times where I want to visit with someone, but I have to turn my head every time I need to take a breath.  As much as I would like to draw close to them, my allergies won't let me. 

It just makes me sad.  When I handed the item back, I had to be careful not to touch my face, so I didn't spread the mold around, and create a bigger problem.  At least I could hide the fear I had.

Each of these allergies, make my face, tongue & throat itch & swell, and I also get a massive migraine. 

The simple cure, the new system, just being in the new system, would make such problems go away. 

Next week, we head to the DC, I can't wait!
