Still Siiiiick

[trista]

My snot content is still rather alarming. In fact, there is more snot than there is snot-containing vessel (which I believe other people simply call a head), and I am most distressed by this. I have dragged my carcass into the office, however, and am doing my best to wade through my inbox and my voice mail while refraining from breathing on my

I'll be slow cooking a 3 lb. tangy beef brisket, then serving it to two fine people and myself, along with gazpacho, dairy potatoes, and chocolate eclair graham cracker cake.

Oh, that sounds heavenly! I hope it goes very well and that you have a wonderful time. I hope, also, that I don't drool too much on my keyboard at the thought of that wonderful meal.

I really do need to learn new things to cook. I haven't a clue what to do with a beef brisket. Other than, you know, eating it.

This is how I'm preparing the beef brisket. I did it last fall, and everyone loved it. And *so* easy too - just mix the ingredients, pour over brisket, and let the Crock Pot do the rest.

[trista]

Mmmm. I could do that! I am so in love with my Crock Pot. I should go on a Crock Pot recipe search.

you need one of these!

I have absolutely no idea how to react to that thing. I'm fascinated, yet horrified. And I'd need someone willing to be my snot-sucker, and I really just don't see people lining up for the chance, you know?

the pictures on the site are priceless. they've got little mini turkey baster type things with a bulb for the babies that mom's often use but this thing is just weird.

if ya want some real pharmafag advice, you can get a product called Salinex which is like a saline type solution with nasal lubricant to help flush out things and keep it clear - no drugs in that one. personally when my allergies get really bad and it's mainly affecting my nose, i prefer using nasal sprays rather than the otc drugs which either zone me out or make me feel like a tweeker. stuff like otrivin works well and lasts a few hours and just works in your nasal cavity without having to take something systemically. just try not to use it for too long, like a week in a row because you can end up getting what is called 'rebound congestion' where it helps to decongest at first but then comes flaring back even worse. sorta like your nasal mucosa jonesin' for another hit.

*pushes more tissues towards you*

I'll be taking the cat to get her shot updates tomorrow morning, then I've got no concrete plans after that. I hope to go on a couple of "friend" dates, but I just might make icons. It's all fun and games to me either way. :D

Also, I'm going to do art. Oooo... maybe I'll go see some art! Take myself on a date for once. Get a pedicure, a glass of wine, try to feel myself up... that sort of thing.

I'll hopefully be making some Gazpacho, and tomorrow the boy and I are taking my parents to see the King Tut exhibit in Philadelphia. :)

I went through so many tissues last week it wasn't even funny. I'm still stuffy!

Sleeep. I hope.
