Sinus Infection Schminus Infection
I think that I have come in contact with the bubonic plague. That's the one where people bled out of their eyes, right? Yuck, so graphic. Moving on.
I have a sinus infection/cold/something viral today and I stayed home from work because I didn't want to share it with my co-workers. My husband is also dealing with the plague, but he doesn't have the flexibility in his schedule and had to go to work today. I feel terribly about that, because I feel like there's a hive of bees buzzing around in my head making it impossible to hear my own thoughts. And oddly enough both my and my hub's eyes are totally bloodshot red. What's going on with that?
I have never experienced such a symptom from a cold/sinus infection/viral mess before. My tears are thick and nasty and I wake up in the morning with my eyes sealed shut. It's awful!
So, I'm gonna keep it pretty short today and focus on wellness for the rest of the evening. I will leave you with this - Puffs Plus makes a tissue with Vicks Vaporub in it. This development is amazing and, I believe, should qualify for a Nobel Prize in medicine.

Poor thing...I had this a couple of weeks ago...had to eventually get shots and 10 days worth of antibiotics. I NEVER used to get sick like that until I started working in the school systems.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
oh no! gah, i hate this season. i hope you and your hubs both feel better super soon!
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me that to help you sleep easy if your congested...rub some Vicks between your toes before bed.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it but let me know if you try it and it helps!
Get well soon!
I'm home from work and things are still pretty stuffy. But thanks to all of your for you well-wishes. We are going to beat this crap!
ReplyDeleteAnd Lady Lee, I've been smearing myself in vapo every night, but not on the toes. Maybe I'll give it a try. I'm desperate for some good sleep!
