A shitty end of an otherwise good day

I had lunch with hyde_grrl today, and I decided to start eating better, so I took a greek salad (but with no tomatoes, and only olive oil and balsamic vinegar as dressing). Lunch was good, talk was light. After coffee, she wanted to go shop for something for her boyfriend, so we went to Lush, which is kinda like a high0end body shop, where we sniffed various body products for the better part of 20 minutes or so.

I hadn't been in the office for 5 minutes that my eyes start watering and my nose, sniffing. To make a long story short, what I thought was just a bit of a reaction to something I must've smelled at the store turned into one pisser of a reaction, which required me to get my ass to the Vic, as my whole face was swollen and red and itchy. Fortunately, I didn't need to use my epipen, as my airways were fine. Benadryl took care of the rest, but I still spent the better part of 5 hours under observation at the hospital. At the end there, I was completely fine, but just waiting for my friggin discharge. It's ironic to have to wait to leave an emergency room.

Anyway, I'm fine now and I'm going home.
