Something very uncomfortable happened at work yesterday and today

I had allergic reactions to the preserving fluids in my cat dissection. I have no idea WHY but it burned my throat and eyes and made me itch. Even now, grading the exams that they thoughtfully dredged in the fluids, I'm reacting. I've never had this problem. I don't know if it's because we kept these cats for a year but why didn't I react last week? I don't know if I'm so close to a major attack because of the pollen that this was just the final push.

What I DO know is, it'll be a career ender if I'm allergic. Either I'd have to switch into teaching genetics/microbiology/ecology (I could do the latter two but not the former) but there is no call for them here and I have No experience teaching them, or have to do online anatomy only which would suck. Here's hoping it's a temporary weird thing.

Booksamillion sent my order to a friend's address. Yes I've sent her stuff before and I was going to order for her but now she has to send it all to me. NOT happy.

But what HAS made me happy is I have all the edits back for Kept Tears Now as soon as I get the synopsis ready, I can send it out for consideration. so YAY. I'm very excited.

And a happy Beltane to all my friends who celebrate it.

And before I get back to my edits have some links that interested me

Damn You Autocorrect I want to believe these are real because I'm laughing SO hard.
