Queen of Rambles

I think my brain is going to explode. It’s full of snot! My head is fuzzy and my right forehead sinus is full to bursting.
Don’t you love the nitty-gritty details of my less than interesting common cold?
Thanks for all the suggestions. I mixed myself a deadly cold killing cocktail yesterday evening (Sudafed [...]

I doubt I’ll be awake for my traditional evening post, so here’s a surprise afternoon post from me!
I miss the old Nyquil. The new Nyquil did help me get to sleep, but it did not clear my nose or let me sleep the sleep of the dead. Instead, I spent the night having [...]

To steal a phrase from Pat, I’m the snot rocket tonight.
It all started out innocently enough. Scratchy throat, bit of phlegm. I thought I would be ok, but around 6 pm my throat totally seized up, my nose became a fountain, my body got the chills and shakes and the life force started [...]

I’m feeling quite irritable tonight and think a giant somethingorother of chocolate would make me feel more human. Only we have no chocolate. And I know it would only help for a few seconds, then I would need more and more and more and more and one day I wouldn’t be able to [...]

After a monsoon weekend, we finally had sunshine today! Until I met Mike, I wasn’t much of an outdoorsy type. I could spend whole weekends glued to my computer, barely moving out of my chair. Spring break? Summer vacation? Oh baby! Why bother to wear clothes? Though I [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Nothing like a little retail therapy for a cheerful pick-me-up. I got Erik so many things that I’m planning on returning half of them. I was a little stunned by the total, but after dealing with the slowest sales associate in the history of the world, I wasn’t going to sort through things [...]
