Clogged head, clogged blog....

Tuesday it hit me out of the blue. Wednesday it knocked me off my feet. Today is Thursday and even though I do feel like I'm getting better, I need a few more days, but I'm not going to get them.

Tomorrow is suppose to begin my romantic, weekend get a way with the husband. I guess I'll have to pack the tissues and Advil. I'll pack my swimsuit hoping by Saturday, the congestion will be gone. If I had to go under water today I think my head would explode from the pressure.

Speaking of sinus pressure, last night I did the strangest thing but it did help me feel better. I wrapped an Ace bandage around my eyes and head. I laid in bed and then placed my rice thingy across my eyes for more weight. (My rice thingy is a dish towel sewn shut with rice stuffed in it. You nuke it in the microwave and it stays warm, or you can freeze it.) After about 30 minutes I removed the weight and the bandage, and I did feel less sinus pressure pain.

I'm really hoping the rest of my family doesn't get sick. DS9 is very excited with his pending weekend with Grandma. She may take them to their first drive in movie and DS9 is excited about being out late, when its dark outside.

DS12 is looking forward to hanging out at Grandma's, but I think he's a little disappointed. One of the Posse Rats is moving away to Arizona. They've been talking about having one last sleep over before he moves. I think he moves Monday so DS12 will most likely miss the send off party. I feel badly for him. The friend moving was the first friend he met after we moved here.

After we get back from our weekend away, we'll have just two days at home before we head to my parents' house in Minnesota. We're looking forward to that trip as well. We only get up to my parents' house once a year. My dad's fishing boat is waiting for us and the county fair will be going on. My mom has a freezer full of Walleye we'll fry up at my sister's lakeside home.
I guess the diet will have to wait until after we get back!

Speaking of dieting, its impossible for me to diet when I'm sick. I totally have that "feed a cold" craving. I don't eat well either; chicken noodle soup, salty taco chips, chicken salad sandwiches, last night DH brought home McDonalds!  I know the salt feels good on my sore throat but my RLS has been wicked. Lord knows what my blood pressure is doing. I've been off my Wii Fit too.

I'm heading to the grocery store this morning for watermelon. I have to get back on track!
