I irrigated my sinuses last night, several times in fact, and the infection seems to be gone for the present. I plan on keeping up with it daily for a while, making sure the infection stays away this time. And the coughing is nearly gone so I'm in much better shape now. I slept long and hard last night.
I should be fixing supper right now since it's getting late. I had planned on fish with Panko coating but I'm still pretty tired so I'm going with Cheeseburger Casserole. Cheap and easy.
I did a lot of ripping back last night on the Greek afghan since I tried to knit the night before last while sick. I messed up the pattern and had to go back. I'm back where I started before ripping so I thought I should just leave it alone until I feel a lot better. I'm getting there but maybe I shouldn't do any knitting tonight as I do have a headache.
I'll irrigate my sinuses later and see if that relieves the pressure. The doctor never gives me antibiotics for sinus infections. She thinks they are over-prescribed. She recommends nasal irrigation with saline and blowing your nose a lot. I completely forgot about the irrigation until yesterday. I hope this does the trick.
I did get some reading done. Nothing that requires a lot of concentration, but definitely entertaining at least. I've got the second of the Percy Jackson novels. So far so good. I will most likely finish it up tonight or tomorrow and since I don't plan on going to the library until Thursday, I'll listen to some Druidcasts on my mp3 player or listen to a book online downloaded from LibriVox. They're free although mostly old since they're in the public domain. I wish the audio books at the library were mp3 compatible as well.
And while listening to the podcasts, I can clean house and get my life ordered again. Being sick really messes up the house even when I do try to keep up.
We've got about four-five inches of snow on the ground already. Only supposed to get about 6-10. Only. Tom did some shoveling today as Zach is coming down with this and I'm still too puny for shoveling. He's in bed with a chill now, though, since he decided to shovel everyone's sidewalks as well. He's generous to a fault.
Off to finish up supper and then to bed. I'm making progress but I'm still a bit of a mess.
