I had to leave the office today around 2pm because I was still so sick (twisting gut, et al). I met the a/c guy, who changed the filter and fixed the freeon (sp) and yet again I was told it could not be cigarette smoke coming through the system.
Naturally, just a few hours ago the stench came pouring in, even into the bedroom this time and I was gagging while my nose burned and my head ached. I had gone to bed early because I felt so bad and when rat came to bed at midnight he woke me up and I smelled it strongly. He cannot smell much of anything - his nose is really dead (as well as his taste buds) but he went to sleep complaining of a headache.
It only happens at night now and it does not happen at all during the day if I am here being sick or during the day on weekends.
We have been trying to think of various alternatives - like moving to a house (too expensive), moving to another apartment in the same complex (but only if the same floorplan-it has the most closet space per square foot), moving to another apartment elsewhere (nothing will be as good as all the closet space we have now), turning off the air at night during the peak bad hours and turning it back on before we leave the next morning(what we have decided to do for the moment), using fans if we need to so we don't die of sweat at night.
The building is NOT smoke-free after all, even though we had been told it was before, and while no one believes me, I still think someone is smoking early in the morning before work and late at night before going to bed and it is somehow getting into the system and into our place.
Tonight I stuffed empty cardboard boxes up in the area in the ceiling where I detected the smoke coming from - it's not coming from the other side. We are trying to think of a more permanent solution to that but nothing has come to mind yet.
Right now, my sinus cavities are burning and I can feel it creep through my system, slowly poisoning me again.
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
