How exciting!

I am feeling like one does when they are 42 and spend the weekend partying like they are still 20. I have zero regrets.

I am feeling...hopeful! A therapeutic riding stable contacted me about my mare, that I thought I had to give up because of my upcoming double hip surgery. They are very excited about her and think she is a real prospect for their program. The good news is they would only lease her for a couple years (longer if needed) and I could get her back when I am all healed! I wont have to lose my horse if this goes this way!

If you can send us some energy to make this happen, I would really appreciate it!

Tired and hungry.........

Still sick.

Still coughing.

:cough:

I hope you feel better soon! (f)

Something's going around. :( I'm just starting to feel better. Hope you will too.

Still stuffed up... but my eyeballs no longer feel like they might pop outta their sockets!! I tried every OTC that friends suggested... not one worked to reduce the pressure. Best thing was one of those saline sinus rinse things. Yeah, not very sexy but... lol. Just saying... in case anyone else suffers yearly from sinus infections... as I do. :(

Pretty good, finally no headaches for a change.

I am 42 as well but spent the weekend bent over and hiking snow everywhere. I do regret that. lol

I'm glad you had fun!

Sending you some positive juju! I hope it works out.

I've still got a cough that holding on too. It'll be a while, from whatever everyone else in this area is saying. Some haven't gotten fully rid of it and it's been 6 weeks. Oy.

A netty pot? My employee suggested that for me but that kind of thing triggers my suffocation/drowning reflexes and it's not pretty for anyone.

Glad it works for you, though.

As for myself, I feel like a tenderized piece of meat. My shoulders and mid to lower back are complaining this morning but the schnoz is clear so far. That will change once I get out into the single digit air.

I'm just going to keep telling myself, it's Monday but it's Friday too; I get the next two days off so it's not that bad.

Feeling good and am hoping to have an easy day at work.

Exhausted....

My coworker never showed up to relieve me so I ended up doing an 18 hour shift...

I'm not exceedingly happy about her and I'm going to have to call my boss about it. I can't do it two days in a row and I'm scheduled tonight too.

Oh yeah and starving too...

I didn't plan on having food with me for the duration.

I stopped at one of My favorite bakeries and got me a Boston cream donut made by a New Yorker who actually knows how. But it only took the edge off....

In a funk, but it will pass.

Hugs for you! Hugs cure all.... :)

Gemme = A netty pot? My employee suggested that for me but that kind of thing triggers my suffocation drowning reflexes and it's not pretty for anyone.

I'm unclear, have you tried it?

I thought the same thing! I swim, scuba, snorkel, etc... I've plenty of times had (sea, lake, river, pond, etc.) water up my nose and down my throat... who the hell would want that!! But... that's not how it works.

I only started having allergies and sinus infections since I've been in Texas. After several Neti recommendations I finally caved and bought something similar from Walgreens...

So, I followed the directions ... making sure I had the "swisher" (what I call it) at the right angle... it doesn't feel like water up the nose at all.

Based on what friends have said re: the Neti ... the style I bought is better... more comfortable. The Neti requires you to tip your head to the side... an awkward angle. The Neti doesn't allow you to control the amount of water that flows into your nose or the pressure with which it enters. The style above is much easier and better ... you tilt your head down a bit and apply pressure to the container. You control volume and pressure.

If it a go! Or maybe try the one above. I resisted a sinus rinse for a few years, it made no sense!! Now I use it as soon a lil congestion in my nose ... the first signs of a pending infection.

Oops...

If it a go! = Give it a go! ;)

Tired and achey.
