I have a cold. It hurts. I also have summer allergies. I require a lot of kleenex. I bought some the other day that had pictures of daisies on it. Only I didn't read closely enough. The daisies were actually chamomile flowers and the scent was so strong it made me sneeze more. I bought new kleenex. I was in a rush. The package had a moisture droplet on the front. I thought it would remoisturize my very dry nose. It was actually essence of some kind of perfume. Not pretty perfume, but the kind that is always poured on and clings to elevator air. I went back and spent five minutes in the kleenex aisle. I read carefully. I did not want apple kleenex or grape kleenex or lilac kleenex or the 15 other kinds of kleenex infused with any number of essences. I only found one scent-free option. My nose is still not happy, but is no longer assaulted every time I have a sneezing fit.
It's the subtle changes away from home that are the hardest to take.

ReplyDeleteGuess you have to read the fine print on Kleenex boxes when you are in a new country. I will always remember this. Hope you feel better soon.
