Ow My Sinuses

[xifeng]

Oh God we had this thunderstorm and the temperature dropped like 15 degrees (from the low 90s to 79 when I was driving home) and my skull is full of snot and I cannot stop sneezing and I'm breathing through my mouth and it's all so fucking horrible and the worst thing is I cannot call in tomorrow. Well I can but just because we can do something doesn't mean we should and it's only allergies, not contagion and plague or anything. I mean it's only going to be a four-day work week anyway.

So instead of doing anything useful or productive I spent my evening blowing my nose and looking at pictures of grilled cheese sandwiches on the Internet, which is arguably nutritionally better than eating a real one. Not that I can taste anything anyway.

Going upstairs to wash my face and pretend I have The Black Plague. Yay!

I've had that for the past week (due to the sniffles, not allergies). It's really annoying when you can't breathe, and I couldn't taste any of the things I ate, which is a real letdown. Mine seems to be clearing up now, though, so that's good. Where all that snot came from I shall never know.

I am very grateful to nosesprays, though! They clear out the pathways wonderfully. Being able to breathe is a luxury that one doesn't always fully appreciate.

I hate that WITH ENTHUSIASM! Thank God the weather has cooled off a little (it's really nice outside) and I'm not dying anymore. I was very thankful when I woke up the morning after this was posted and could breathe through my nose!

My only issue with nasal sprays is that when I'm drippy like this, the LAST thing I want to do is stick something in my nose.

And then on top of that, Ollie went and got himself fleas. It never ends!
