OK....I've had just about enough of this...

I am going to whine just a bit here....
so if you are easily offended...
please come back another day....


My head is about to explode.
My sinuses are stuffed to the brim.
I have gone through 4....(really 4!) boxes of Puffs
I am taking all the OTC stuff one can take,
and my head is still splitting....

OK,
that's just about enough of that.

Whew...
I am still grateful for all the blessings...
and the lessons...
and my life...

Surprise!


What's that strange growl emanating from my throat?
That mucus laden croak that sounds strangely like me?
What is that pain in my sinuses that nothing can touch?
Fiddle-dee-dee...
It's the "takes forever to get over cough"
that seems to sweeping the land....
No one is immune, from what I have seen.
Men, women and children all croaking weakly.....
Now, the details of this ailment need not be reproduced for
"the delicate reader"....
but suffice to say, strange things have surfaced.
Coughs creep in from dark recesses to take me to my knees.
aches and pains are mostly treated with my favorite standby,
BC powders and a Diet Coke to wash it down.
But the coughing in the middle of the night is making me weak during the day.
I am sick of being sick.
We have cancelled our trip to visit my father-in-law, because we are
both dealing with this......blob of mucus.
Thank goodness for sunshine, blue skies, please don't go away...
My cough sounds like a bowl of rough ground clay....
(sorry)

Irritating as Hell.....and worth every minute.

See the pollen?
Big, round, greenish yellow blobs of it?
Each particle of pollen must have spikes on it.
I have discovered sinuses where no human has them...
My head is practically useless....
No, I mean even more than usual.
I feel a little like Atlas, only I am carrying nothing but my head.
But aren't they BEAUTIFUL?
The dogwood is our state tree.
Some years it disappoints.
Not this year.
They are sprinkled like fluffy snow throughout the wooded areas.
They lift and fall with the breezes.....
They make you want to rip your sinuses out.
Love them.
