I used to have reactive asthma and perfumes would really set it off.
May I suggest montelukast in pill form? It's controlled my asthma almost 100%, I no longer need a rescue or steroid inhaler.
Also, curiously, it's to some extent psychological. Since I've lost my sense of smell I no longer react to odors. Yes, people react physiologically to odors, even without any specific allergic or toxic effect. It's part of our bodies' immediate, automatic defense mechanism. Odors can give us headaches, make us wheeze, and make us vomit.

Finally! I got something done besides responding to emergencies, going to doctors, cook ing and doing dishes!
Yardwork! But it's too hot to continue and I got a bit of a sunburn.
So later today I hope to re-start the decluttering process.

Back and done on another massive cool down day. Raining hard when I was out and now it is sitting around 60F. Considering on Wednesday my area was sitting at least 90F. It is much cooler.

Is your weather more changeable than it used to be, BRENDA?
Anyway, if it's gonna rain I hope the interior gets some!

Only three more appointments this month, and they're all on the same day. Yay!

So, my summer schedule (for now) is that I head outside for yardwork in the AM, then come inside to take a break, clean up the kitchen, and start dinner. Once that's done I have a couple of hours for whatever project I'm working on indoors, which right now is decluttering. For the past couple days I dug up all the puncture vine I could find, plus most of the tall weeds, then I went thru my side of the closet and pulled out everything I no longer use and have no intention of using and I boxed it up. There was only one medium-sized box bc I'm not much of a hoarder.
Today more weeding out front, then go thru the office/ storage room and recycle or donate all the bottles and containers, respectively, that I won't be using. I think after that I'm going to rake/ sweep the driveway and clear the gutter, and tackle dear daughter's room. But rather than frame it as "keep/ donate/ trash" we're just going to separate it into "using/ not using" and keep it like that. (One step towards heading out the door.)
Also need to look for the next few e-waste events. Hubby has enough to stock a computer store!

The weather is far more changeable now that at any point when I was growing up, SIG.
The Interior did see some for sure and some of the rain did carry over the Rockies into Alberta.
