Faucet Nostril

So... I sit here writing this, with a toilet paper plugging up my left nostril. Why, you ask? because that side of my nose has decided it is going to run whenever I move my head. That's right, the evil cold has attacked me. I woke up to find what I thought was just allergies the past few weeks had turned into sinus drainage, glands by ears/jaw hinge sore, and a uuber stuffed up nose. To put the cherry on top, my Bio class started our fetal pig dissection today. The formaldehyde in the pig to preserve it burned the sinuses and throat, causing symptoms to get worse. Hopefully the OTC meds will be in full affect by Wednesday, when we continue. I felt so bad cutting up "Piglet."

My weekend plans may have changed, not only because of this frakking cold, but because my mom, whose birthday is on Friday, might be going out of town to visit my sister H, whose birthday is Thursday. Plus J, my other sister might be going down as well, if her meds have kicked in (gave birth 6ish months ago, unfortunately got post-partum). So besides a couple of friends, the people that would be in town to hang with would be my dad, and the dog, and possibly one of my grandparents-- I'm on her S&%$ list because I've only seen her at family functions and haven't gone to see her. As much as I would like to visit her and Magoo (her pug) I don't wanna deal with the barrage of questions, the woe-is-me stories of how none of us visit her enough, etc. Call me a bad granddaughter, but I have my limits.

If I don't go home, I have to get my community service hours underway for my ROCI class. I was going to start them last weekend, but ended up not. I could make up excuse after excuse, but it came down to nerves and laziness.

Well, I am going to continue for a little bit trying to drink tons of apple juice (1 8 oz of it contains 100% of DV of Vitamin C) and then try to get some sleep after Hawaii Five-O finishes. I can sleep in an extra hour because my 10am class was cancelled in the morning, but I'll probably get up at the usual time to get some work done before a group project meeting.

 Goodnight, and here's to hoping everyone is feeling better than I do :)
