Happy Turkey Day!

To every one I know and love...

on this day of giving thanks, I thank you for being.

My Wellness Checklist

As you may have guessed from yesterday's post... I'm sick. Don't know what kind of sick, but judging by the pulsating headache, runny/stuffy nose, skummy throat, and stuffy ears I've had for the past few days, it's something to do with my sinuses. GREAT.

But, I'm determined to get better. By Wednesday. No problem.

Sooo....

Humidifier ✔
A box of tissues (yay for puffs+vicks) every where I go ✔ ✔ (I have a box on both sides of my bed)
Hot washcloth ✔
Ibuprofen Sinus Headache ✔
Robitussin DM-MAX ✔
Musinex ✔
Multi-vitamin ✔
Crazy vitamin C suplement ✔ (But it's pretty nasty so it may become a last resort...)
Lots of sleep ✔ (well I'm trying at least)

Good health... here I come!

This won't be me for long! ☛

I'm Falling In Love...

...with Puffs + Lotion + Vicks tissues.

I've been suffering from an awkward coughing, sniffling, headache inducing cold/sinus thing for the past few days. It certainly is not what I want to be dealing with mere days before I hop on a plane bound for Florida, fun, and friends, but I think I'm finally starting to wear it down.

Anyway, last night I finished my last Kleenex + Lotion tissue, so this morning after deciding that normal tissues were just not going to make the cut for on my poor chapped sore nose, I headed down to the grocery store.

I must have stood in front of the tissue aisle for about 15 minutes trying to decide what the best tissue option/deal/price was... Do I buy generic and run the risk of using sandpaper tissues? Do I buy the ones on sale that I don't have a coupon for? Or do I buy the ones I have a coupon for, but have to buy 3 of to use the coupon? And then, do you get the lotion one? the Vicks one? the one with anti-microbrial properties? Too many choices.

In the end I bought three boxes of lotion tissues and one glorious box of Puffs + Lotion + Vicks.

They are awesome. They make your nose all tingly and help clear out your sinuses.

I ♥ them!

The Cone of Shame

I ♥ UP.

Today mom took Little Kitty (aka Skits) to the vet to get her stitches taken out (we had her spayed) and they told her that the silly cat had developed a small infection from licking her incision. The treatment? A shot of antibiotics and a few days in the "Cone of Shame."

The poor thing hates it and lies around looking all pathetic when she has it on... it's really very cute...

Mumford and Sons

As soon as I got my new car (with a CD player!!!) I decided that I needed some sweet CDs.

I'd heard Mumford and Sons' song "Little Lion Man" on the radio before and I really loved it, but when I heard their second single, "The Cave," I was absolutely and completely sold. So, their CD 'Sigh No More,' became my first physical CD purchase in about seven years. It's awesome!

Listen to these songs and see if you don't fall in love with them too!

Really?

Now I must admit that while I'm sort of apathetic when it comes to politics and I'm not completely satisfied with the direction our government has been moving in lately, it really scares me when I read things like this...

Donald Trump is seriously thinking about running for president.

Really? That's almost as scary as Sarah Palin's supposed presidential aspirations.

After yesterday's elections created an overwhelmingly Republican House and only slightly Democratic Senate, the republicans and tea-partiers are touting their victory, claiming that the AMERICAN PEOPLE have taken back the country. Last time I checked, democrats were American. I know I am.

But hey, over the last two years democrats have been dragged through the mud, stopped at almost every turn, and every decision they've actually been able to make has been criticized. So, who would want to be one anymore anyway? If you're a democrat, odds are, you won't be able to get anything done. After all, Sarah Palin thinks we're un-American, un-constitutional, and just plain unfit to be alive.

So, as much as I hate how red our country just got, all I can hope is that something, anything, gets done in the next two years. Anything, that is, except more stalemates, bickering, name calling, and all the other petty things that come part and parcel with politics. I'm willing to accept almost anything at this point as long as we take care of some of our problems.

But, if we elect the Trumpster or Sarah Palin as president in two years... I may completely lose my faith in people.

Sweet 16...

Sixteen-hundred that is...

This evening my car turned 1,600 miles. That means that in less than one month I've driven over 1,552 miles. wow. I think it's probably a really good thing that I bought a new car...
