Subject: RE: BS: Making Dreams Come True? --Hesperis
The kitchen window is next to your bed? Or, your air cleaner and a closed bedroom door do not take care of it? Did you put a towel across the crack under the door?

Can you add a HEPA filter to the kitchen window opening?

Can someone help you make a little card to put in that wiondow that reads, "When you open this window, I get sick and maybe have to go to the hospital." Best would be a note from your doctor, translated into your roomies' language, saying something about it. Do you have any leftover prescriptions you can use creatively to make such a note?

As far as the yellow material-- well, guys are like that, ya gotta look before you sit, sweetie. Just be grateful they leave the seat down for you!

Suggestion-- be cautious about that "it would be perfect" mind set when you consider new plans. If you can make a new habit, of reducing your expectations, you may find the realities a little less dramatically disappointing. This will probably lead to making it a tad more comfortable to cope with other people's needs, for you-- and them. And you may find others more cooperative in the end result you want.

You don't need to be in survival-at-all-costs mode any more, tho I know you have been, many times. But now, you can afford to consider some of the community-making aspects of your present life.   Honest-- it's really safer than it feels. You ARE really stronger.
