Oh Cedar, How I love thee

Dear Cedar,

Thank you for invading my sinuses once again. What has it been, 14 long years since you have been making your yearly visits? I remember our first time so fondly...the sneezing, the wet washcloth to take the stinging out of my eyes and the snot, oh yes the miles of lovely snot oozing out of my nose.

Our time has changed since that fateful season. Now you bring with you the stinging in my left nostril that leads me to believe I have eaten a shovel full of wasabi. That, along with the hacking cough and the eye boogies are enough to drive any girl wild.

Soon you will be gone and I will no longer be taking the pretty pink little pills every night to keep you from causing that teensy dry spot in my throat that makes me hack and gag. I will be able to rest. I will be able to breathe and those around me will look less runny eyed and sneezy.

Until that day, I will treasure our time together.

Sincerely yours,

Miserable snotty mess.

Random musings

1. I too made the Gourmet January 2009 chicken dish that Sinda made. It was very good and pretty easy to make. The oil cured olives were very pungent!

2. It is sooo cold today and I forgot my jacket (because I often do that and was hoping it would get warmer - next time I will consult the forecast). I needed gas at lunch and my amazing girlfriend offered to pump it for me since I didn't have a jacket (an offer I couldn't refuse) - THANK YOU!!!

3. I heard the rats in my walls again last night - UGH

4. My new Lucky Jeans from Nordy's should arrive by mail today :)
