Illness

It has been a few days since I have posted. I've was very busy with schoolwork early this week. Then I got sick. It's the usual suspect: my sinuses. I've been using decongestant, Flonase left over from my last sinus difficulties, numbing throat spray, and Advil. A friend told me that he started irrigating his sinuses and gargling with salt water every night and he hasn't had a sinus infection or sinusitis since. I think I'll try it.

Unfortunately, due to illness, I didn't get credit for a lot of the school work I did. I thought about going to class yesterday (even though I called in sick to work) but I decided it wasn't worth making myself feel worse for 2% of the final grade.

I am starting to feel somewhat better. To be on the safe side, I won't go to temple tonight. I'm also not going to see the kitties tomorrow; they have enough of a problem with illness without me bringing my germs. I'll probably keep my hair appointment tomorrow though. I desperately need a haircut.

Michael is expecting a friend from Philadelphia tonight. The flight comes in pretty late and they are leaving for Flagstaff and Sedona first thing in the morning. This means we won't be doing our weekend routine, but I think it's good to have the occasional weekend apart. They'll be back early Sunday evening, so I'll get to see Michael and meet his friend soon enough. In the meantime, I'll read, rest, and of course, listen to lots of music.
