When I was young, my worrisome mother wouldn’t let me leave the house in the spring because of my allergies.
I had bad allergies.
She was anxious about everything, especially after we learned I was allergic to bees, wasps, and hornets. She was scared I was going to be stung and die before I could get back to the house. I knew mom was anxious over nothing, but I could not argue with her when I was 12. Now, I can go and do what I want because my mom is not there to tell me what to do. She still calls me every day to see how I’m feeling, and to see how my day is going. She can’t tell me how to live my life anymore. Mom recommended a media air cleaner for my house. My allergies are getting worse afternoon by afternoon, but periodically it’s hard for me to sleep at night. I told mom that I hadn’t slept well in a couple of nights and she suggested buying an indoor media air cleaner. She had an indoor media air cleaner in mind. She looked up some machines online and she had one picked out and in the shopping cart. My mom bought the indoor air cleaning unit for me and I said OK, since she already had one picked out and ready to go.
