Who nose?

I hate my face. It's true. Today was the worst. My sinuses just kept getting worse and worse. I knew as soon as I got on the bus this morning that going to work was a mistake. Every 5 minutes or so it felt like a tiny little explosion under my left eye/check. It was just goo lodging itself in my sinus. Good times. It's gross, but I'm in pain, so I can share that. I'm ok with that.

I made it through the morning with only a few glitches- i.e. there were no testing booklets for the periodic assessment I was supposed to give. I then helped children make lists and blew my nose a gajillion times to no avail. Every now and then I would moan. I tried to eat lunch to see if I'd feel better, but the salad I'd made just wasn't cutting it. I wasn't even hungry! Something is seriously wrong with me when I'm not even hungry.

The time came for me to leave, I didn't make it through the day. I let the new assistant principal know that I was out for the count and she wished me well. I caught the bus home, and fell asleep as soon as my butt hit that cushy express bus seat! Fatigue sets in.


I slept until 7 pm, then got up and made some soup. I also had made the short venture to the store to buy some sinus medicine before crashing in my bed. It didn't help much. I watched a movie and then went to bed again.

Here's what helps:
