Okay, this is bad

torquillapparently all I needed to do was to say I was having a nice, pleasant, easy day.
The Windex used to clean the microscopes has short-chain ethers in it. Despite being the blue flavor, which is normally safe.
Brilliant.
My teacher understands, and let me take off early; I've taken enough vitamin C to fend off all but mild tremors. I'll stay for biochem unless I start having serious issues -- since this isn't ethylene glycol butyl ether (it's probably one of the longer-chain relatives) the reaction should be more mild. EGBE would have sent me flying out the door at the first whiff.
I hope I'm not flat for the weekend. I hope I can manage to make it to lab tomorrow. I hope I can stay at the co-op for dinner tonight.
Just beautiful.
Update (6pm): I'm not feeling half-bad, actually. My verbal and writing coordination are kind of iffy -- I seem to have picked up a little dyslexia, and word choices are difficult -- but the panic is gone, and so are all but the tiniest of tremors. I'm not too much more tired than usual, either, which surprises me. I'll take it easy with the bike, but I think I'll go to dinner and see what happens. I'll leave a little earlier so that I'm not racing the train. Oh, and I'll take a little more C.
Maybe speed-bump rather than disaster. At least Professor Leary was more coherent than usual in biochem.
