actual progress

For those of you just joining us, chemical sensitivies are not a preference. They are an illness typically brought on by exposures to synthetic or natural chemicals, hence the term environmental illness or injury (EI). The EI community is in general pretty sick, so we make terrible advocates for ourselves. Thus it is with great satisfaction that I introduce this blog's first instance of EI-related breaking news:

BREAKING NEWS: San Francisco told the company responsible for advertising on bus shelters to lose the chocolate-chip-cookie smell strips.

In other news, it appears that it either takes about five days to adapt to sleeping on the rope-strung cot, or I finally got away from the detergent residue long enough to feel better. Either way, I slept pretty well. As a bonus, my guts unbloated, so overall this has been a pretty good day.
