Yesterday after work, I decided to visit my client who hasn't been doing well emotionally. (I work for human service agency). Her apartment was disaster and saw a cat trying to hide. She has many grandchildren and there were 5 of them chasing the pregnant cat. So I decided to lift her up and trying to comfort her. She seemed to like me very much. Every time I tried to stand up, she jumped back on my lap. So I was like "oh cutie..." (I do that to all cats and dogs).. Anyway.. I left her house and had to go home by two buses and one train. As soon as I left the house, my eyes started itchy, my throat started hurting, and I started having runny nose. It was just crazy....

By the way time I got home (it was about an hour) my eyes were full of tears, and looked like beaten up. My roommate gave me an allegy medicine, but she thought I needed to go to an emergency room. My eyes were swallon that much. It has been about 20 hrs.... my eyes are not as bad.. but I guess it won't get better any time soon. I will be wearing sunglasses for a couple more days.. who knows I might need to go to a doctor on Monday if it doesn't get better.

I love cats, but I think I need to limit myself... otherwise I suffer a lot later..
