What? I mean, for as terrible of a shape as I am in, life isn't bad. I forgot to take ibuprofen too, which I will remedy immediately. I should get my meds set up too, if lightly. Going with just the water pill, potassium and other vitamins, and perhaps the smallest dose of heart medicines... or at least the ones I can take without too severe of side effects.
My plan to block the nose part of the time doesn't work while sitting up... or standing if you do that. The runniness needs to go, so will just keep flowing. It doesn't work while awake. Okay, but at least it helps at night. And it really helped. Even though I had to wake every two hours, it was far less a bother than to have to wake to fluid flooding out, hoping it wasn't blood. Oh, sure, I still keep the towels up there, wrapped around the pillow, as I have for a month or three (?) now. Funny thing? As soon as I put the towels on, I have not spilled any blood on that. And I have only had one bloody nose, other than last night. I catch them now, before a drop hits.
The ducks and rabbits are fed and watered. The cats have had a meal, and are about to get a snack as well. More, their litter will get hit. I need to eat but can't cook. Too worn, more than tired. Muscles ache as is, so tinkering only exacerbates. Fine, but... oh, I'll figure something out. Hmm... I wonder if their is a soup shop in town, that doesn't add stupid stuff. Low carb, chicken veggie. Though A beef stew, by someone who knows how to do it, would be splendid. And, if I were going, and it were possible, I might get a large batch of each.
First though, a nap. It will be a relief to be done with the runny nose for a while. Even if it is just a few hours at a time, that is so much better than having a constant, or nearly constant, runny nose. Hmm... a few cough drops would be good? Wait, I think they load those with sugar. Even "natural" cough drops are filled with it. Instead of sugar, or corn syrup, they use pure cane sugar... as if that makes a difference.
I could check amazon. Not sure I trust their products, certainly not their prices. And, yet, the devil if you do, the devil if you don't. Worth a shot. As slow as they go anymore, I'll be finished with the cold by the time they arrive. Still... I got the ibuprofen just ahead of time, though only because the last flu I got pushed me to it. It only took three years after? Four? Heh. Might as well check about cough drops or sich. Late, but not unusually so. Actually... after only one bought which derived the consideration.
A nap. First. All else can hang. It's only 10:11, so... not bad at all. Up by noon, one? Hopefully. Then a few calls, check the rabbit waterers, and... who knows. Good morning and day.
"I could check amazon. Not sure I trust their products, certainly not their prices."
ReplyDeleteTheir shipping charges sometimes don't make me smile either. Seriously, I would think they'd at least have the decency to have a parrot on their shoulders, or at least actively fly the Jolly Roger.
But I wish you luck. My own sinuses have been driving me crazy for years. Oh, and thanks for mentioning Anacin some time back. I tried some yesterday and may switch over entirely to that.
Yes, anacin really is good. An aspirin that works, caffeine really helps. As for Amazon, I do the yearly prime. If I shop mainly through them. The problem with local shopping is they never have what I need, when I need it. Even farm and implement stores have trouble keeping simple things in stock... though that might be seasonal. They want me to buy the electric waterers, rather than check the waterers several times a day. Well, and to be fair, a lot of people won't buy regular waterers. But... wouldn't that be a good time to buy? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know if I find something. My sinuses only rarely bother me, when I have the flu and very rarely I'll get a touch of hayfever or some such. I suspect that gets worse over time.
