Knitting keeps me warm. Occupied. Feeling productive. I’ve been keeping busy knitting a scarf. Well, actually I have about 8 scarves started, but got sick of them, abandoned and started this one. Wanted something a bit funky and different from my regular Fun Fur festivals, and needed to use up some yarn. Here she is about 1/4 of the way done.

The feeling of a small troll, crammed between the roof of my mouth and my nose brought me to the doctor this afternoon. I guess I’ve got some sinus stuff going on. He recommended Afrin twice a day for a few days to open up those passages and let the goo drain. Attractive, I know!! I’ve been feeling intermittent goo slide down the back of my throat, and my tummy is a bit unsettled, so this wasn’t a big newsflash. I’ll admit, if I’m in my car or outside or somewhere where I’m not ashamed to show my lady-ness, I hack it up and hock it in a snowpile (or Kleenex and dispose, yes I do). I can spit pretty well, totally not proud of it– not putting it on the resume or anything. It’s just a fact. Cradle snot in a curled tongue and whuuck like a blowdart. I don’t like that crap going in my tummy. Save those calories for the good stuff, ya hurd?
I do know to be careful with that spray because, a few years back, I lost my sense of smell from the stuff for a while. It was my own fault because I got a bit overzealous with the nasal spray, using it even when my nose was clear. Foolish.

Christy’s got a contest going on. She’s giving away an Angie Stone CD. Go check it out.
Ohh thanks for the link. =o)
I actually received two discs from Angie’s publicist so I can give out both if I get enouh excited people. But so far not many seem thrilled.
I gave away concert tickets last month. Just depends what they send me. =o)
Knitting. I can’t knit, but I have crocheted before. Right now I’m obsessed with sewing. I just finished a pajama top for my son, well I need to press it. I’m learning, only bought the sewing machine 2.5 weeks ao. =o) It’s so fun. And I have found I VERY MUCH LOVE fabric. =o)

Try a Netipot. Works better than most meds. 🙂
Try the Netipot it has worked wonders for my sinus issues. The only weird thing is I now have an eye infection – wondering if that happened because of the sinus flushing? Hope you feel better soon!
Great looking scarf! I’m working on another Irish hiking scarf. It was a great way to learn cables and now I’m hooked. http://www.helloyarn.com/irishhikingcarf.htm
I’ve held off my usual colds this year for some reason.. not that I’m complaining! Usually I’m stuffed up for most of the winter. It’s nice for a change to be able to breathe!
Yes on the Neti pot (see next post ;)).
Terri — that scarf is kick booty. I can’t seem to download the pattern, though. Keeps timing out.
