5 Things for Friday (on a Saturday)

I missed publishing my post yesterday, mainly because it was such a hectic day that after work I ended up on the couch falling asleep on my husband’s lap. But I wanted to get this posted, so here we are.

No sinus surgery required

A few weeks ago I mentioned going to see my doc for a few things, one of them being my sinus. I was told when I was young I had a deviated septum, and as an adult sometimes breathing through my nose is tough. So we decided to get it checked out, especially since I tend to get sinus infections semi-regularly.

Well, it turns out that I don’t have a deviated septum, nor any polyps, or any other reason that I need surgery.…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 10)

The last few nights I’ve found myself getting to bed, and realising yet another day has gone by. It feels like from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to bed, things just zoom by.

I only pause when it’s time to go to sleep, and really, I’m only pausing because I have to. I want to keep doing things, and getting stuff done, and sometimes sleep just feels like a waste of time.

No points for guessing that I had bad sleep this week because I kept going to bed late, whoops.

New mission for next week: slow down, pay attention, and appreciate what time I have.

Anyway, here’s what happened in the last blink-and-you’ll-miss-it week.

1: Still “Running down under”

I renewed my subscription to Run the World this week, a virtual run around Australia.…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 8)

You guys, it’s been a week. I’m tired. I’m ready for bed. But I haven’t blogged in a few days so I wanted to get one posted tonight.

I’ve been trying to prioritise sleep, because most of this week my “sleep” has been more like “intermittent dozing between coughing”.

The sinus infection is still here

I want to say I’m getting better, but I don’t know. I suppose the green gunky stuff isn’t as green and gunky, so there’s that.

But I’m still taking forever to get to sleep, and I’ve nearly gone through an entire bottle of cough syrup on my own this week. I’m taking one of those fancy dry cough ones that contain dextromethorphan. Apparently, it turns off the cough signals in the brain, to which my brain just replies with “Ha!…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 7)

It’s Friday, and here’s five things.

1: I’m having a bath

I could electrocute myself at any time but I’m living on the edge. Kidding.

Anyway, I’m still feeling yuk, so after sitting out by the fire with my husband for a bit, he kindly ran a bath for me to soak in. He even added scented Epsom salts, he’s so sweet.

I still feel blah tho. Thank god for cold and flu meds.
