This week I was visited by the sinus headache from hell.  It descended upon me on Tuesday.  If only my desire to hang out on the floor in my dark bathroom was caused by a hangover.   I know how to fix that.

The sinus thing could be caused by a number of things.  Grass, pollen, mold, M’s dog,…  Then there was the weather.  A front was coming through. Actually, multiple fronts were coming though.  Sadly, I am a barometer.  It started around my eyes and by Wednesday morning it had progressed to my ears.

When it gets that far there isn’t much I can do except stay put.  I get vertigo when my ears are clogged.  It’s been awhile since I have fallen and blacked out.  I  know the warning signs.  It’s best to just stay on the floor to begin with.   That and pray for rain (or the barometric pressure to change).  The majority of Wednesday was spent in bed and on the floor.

By Thursday I was feeling mildly better.  The rain helped a little bit.  I braved the office for a few hours until the nausea hit.  I decided to go home at that point. The couch, lots of fluids,  and the Dark Crystal made me feel better.  I felt good enough to take the Real Jew’s advise and stalk someone on the internet.

Today was about the same.  Still feeling mildly icky. I can tollerate sunlight so that’s a plus.  I managed to watch 14 episodes of Arrested Development without falling asleep.  That was not the case on Wednesday.

Hopefully I can return to life off of the couch.  I do love my couch but really, this was a bit much.
