Forget Blogging, I Just Want to Breath

There's a major gap between my last post and this post. Although I am not even embarrassed to admit, I hardly noticed. And I care even less.

But I got online today because I love you. At least, I do when I am breathing.

I have. . . an infection. A horrible disease. The plague. A monster sitting inside my sinuses that seems to be pleased every time I attempt to take a breath and he hatefully stops me from doing so. An evil little bogeyman that has made me an air head and a mouth breather and a dripping faucet all in one single act.

Okay, I have a cold. The sniffling, sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, sore throat, stuffy head, air head, achy pain, feel-like-all-sound-is-underwater, make-me-cranky, forget-trying-to-work-because-all-I-wanna-do-is-sleep kind.

My dear friends, I love you and I'm sure I would be missing you if I could think straight. Or at all. By the time I get feeling better, I am going to need some marketing pens just to get back on the radar again.

Don't worry, I washed my hands before writing this to you. And I used a tissue when I sneezed.

No clue if it works but I know people who say it does. Kinda takes a bit of preparation before you get the stuffed up nose but if you're feeling overly outgoing you could work on it right now. If not gogo future plans!! :P

Vel - ugh, definitely NOT feeling that outgoing. Don't know if I will ever feel outgoing enough to blow liquid up my nose. People actually *do* this?

Mindy - thanks Hon. I'm getting there.

At first I thought, "Hey...this is a little weird. But then I got to thinking about it. When you get dust in your nose you sneeze. When it's all snotted up you blow it out. It generally leads to a hurt nose and doesn't do the job of cleaning out all the particles and such outta your nose. Watering it out would do a much better job I would imagine. I plan to try it eventually. But then again I'm weird, as you've probably already guessed surmised by now.

Good point. It would be kind of hard for me to be friends with you if you were NORMAL, considering how UNnormal I am. Let me know how the experiment goes. Once I know my brain won't be coming out through my nasal passage I might try it.
