houston we have a problem
I am in Houston, studying for my huge clinical skills exam tomorrow, where I interview and examine standarized patients in 15 minutes, then write a note in 10. It’s going to be loads of fun–8 hours of it!
I have just discovered that I am allergic to cigarette smoke. Or the combination of cigarettes, 5 cats, and a cocker spaniel. I’ve been sneezing uncontrollably and my eyes itch and my nose is stuffy. I’m staying with my great uncle, which at first seemed like a great idea to save money, and while he did warn me that it was a smoking household, this is proving to be a bit much. Hopefully, I’ll be able to sleep tonight and won’t wake up with a horribly scratchy throat.
I had a big post that I wrote on the airplane, but I can’t find a USB connection on my uncle’s laptop (besides the one where the mouse goes). So it’ll have wait until I can transcribe it tomorrow. It’s really starting to amuse me the various computer difficulties that I’ve had so far.

Good luck for your exam tomorrow!
And ditto on the cigarette smoke. It makes my eyes water and my throat get sore.

O.O wow, good luck with the exam! Yikes!
hmm… I think I’ve been getting allergic to something recently too (I can tell with my neck), but I’ve never been allergic before. But if I’m around a LOT of smoke then my eyes burn aweful and I can’t see -it’s really bad after I leave a place like that and am driving because…. well yeah.
Anyway, hope your trip and test go alright!
