uh... whatnot...

The sinus cavity is still packed... though no longer to the point of complete misery. I did, very briefly, consider the purchase of a neti pot. But really. Eww. I've seen very disturbing video footage.

Icky mucus aside, I've jumped back onto the run training track! WAHOO! For a few short days there, I feared I may suffer a full blown anxiety attack! I'm not back up to the five mile jaunts yet... but did put in a few three milers... and tonight the rest of the crew and I will be running a 5k in Goleta! Duuuuude. Should be a good time! Cool ocean air... nice scenery... good friends... and some exercise to boot. Sweeeeeeeeet.

Speaking of exercise.... Stacey G and I dropped by the gym for a marathon training workout yesterday. Naturally, our first stop was the ladies locker room. Much to our dismay, we caught a 60 something (maybe a 70 something) butt shot within seconds of entering the zone. Eah gads gals. We've all had to change in and out of gym clothes as school kids... but really... it's not as though we had wandered into Pirates Cove. I don't need to see your business all exposed and out there (no matter what your age!). G and I managed to remain composed, although we both later confessed to a silent Snoopy laugh. Yeah... we're immature... it's what makes us "interesting people". ;-p Thank goodness it was a rear view. I may just have died on the scene had we caught an eye full of... well... you know. Trust me... cataracts and loss of vision may just be a blessing as we age. I'm just sayin'. Silver lining y'all. The locker room has changing rooms with curtains. Let's say we all use them. Ok?

And on an entirely different note......... Did anyone else see the ebay ad for rat hair as an aphrodisiac? Six quality rats were cleaned and shaved. Oh joy. But hey... before you scoff... the ad included some recommended uses, just in case you didn't have your own reasons for spending your hard earned cash on Ben's pelt.

What will tomorrow bring?

ehh...

Slacked off on the blogging thing for a week now. Try not to be alarmed, but I have very little to say lately. Must be the head cold. How is it that such a teeeeeeeny little thing like a virus can do so much damage to the human body? And is it really necessary that my nose produce this much mucus? If I drink a glass of wine, will it dehydrate me and make things worse, or will the virus catch a buzz and have a weakened system that my white blood cells can more easily attack?

Common cold advice........ dish it at me.... I want this one GONE... and soon... or I fear I may go insane. I need to run again. Is it possible I'm addicted?
