Thank God for Rain
We had our first monsoon storm on "the new, revised monsoon season" yesterday and it cleared the junk out of the air. I've had a ripping headache for the past two weeks and my ears have been going back and forth between sensitive and throbbing and okay-to-sleep-on. Granted, I still ended up with a sinus infection-- but that was actually sorta fortunate because I already had a visit scheduled with my specialist to go over my 6 month marker of poison shots (allergy shots). He looked in my ears, up my nose and commented on the nice yellow colour the back of my throat had going on. I didn't even have to ask for an antibiotic like I do with my primary care doctor, who would have told me I just had "swimmer's ear" again. Really, I wouldn't have even gone to the doctor feeling as bad as I was because I usually have to come back in to see her when it's much, much worse and I have that throbbing band of fire below my eyes and above them.
I was finally able to sleep... though my sleep habits have been interrupted lately by a text based game I'm getting back into called Utopia. Jordan is freaking out and blaming my lack-of-sleep and my poor health on the game. I blame my poor choices and the craptacular weather we've been having. I love meeting new people online and the crowd in my Utopia Kingdom is just captivating. It's hard to get to bed between 9pm and 10:30pm when that's right around the time the conversation slips into the realm of the extremely entertaining.
I would say this weekend was a waste, but I actually really enjoyed myself. I stayed home. I slept. I played games. It's been a good, long while since I've had the chance to actually do things I want to do... rather than being dragged out of the house to this place or that place for some-such thing here or this or that there. This was fantastic. Now, don't go thinking I sat on my posterior all weekend. I did get some laundry done. I dusted. I even remember vacuuming the floor a little.
I did get extremely grumpy and exhausted Friday. I thought I'd be able to sleep late, so I stayed up extremely late Thursday night. I forgot I had people visiting the house at 10am. Between the cats waking me up at 5am, Jordan keeping me up when he went to work, not being able to sleep because I'd been up so long, having people visit the house-- I was dog tired by the time the appointment with my physician rolled around at 3pm. I couldn't drive myself, so I had Jordan come home from work early and take me. I came home and crashed. Hard. I slept for 10 hours. I could have slept longer, but my body is used to waking up around 6am. After sleeping for so long,
