This bastard is tenacious

Yesterday during the day my fever went away and I felt somewhat better. But then by the end of the day I was feeling a little dizzy and warm again. And I spent a miserable night being hot and shivery and just feeling...yucky. And now I'm so congested that I can barely breathe through my nose. The last set of sinus infections were mostly throat-based, and those were much more tolerable because I could breathe. This one sucks. My neck and my side are in knots from constantly blowing my nose.

I'm sorry just to whine and flail, but I'm just so...miserable. blergh.

At least I got to rewatch When Harry Met Sally. I was thinking of it recently because gmth mentioned it, and it was on VH1 something, and now I'm remembering just how wonderful this movie is, and how I know so much of it by heart. "I am not your consolation prize." I love how tightly woven it is, yet it rambles...it's such a great example of a movie coming together in a perfect way. Love love love.

Oh, now Princess Bride is on. Thank you, TV gods, I appreciate it.

Sorry it bounced back at you after a day :-( Blergh indeed.

The Princess Bride is awesome. J introduced me to it and I will always be grateful for that. He keeps saying "As you wish" at me. And of course the unforgettable "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father! Prepare to die!" :-)

This thing is really making me miserable. I'm going to drink more Gatorade and just lounge on the couch until I have to leave.

And yes, PB rocks! I still love this movie so much.

Right now..."Inconceivable!"

You need to be irrigating your sinuses with a warm saline wash. Seriously, it does work and it cuts down the time of a cold or sinus infection by half.

A friend on FB recommended trying a saline aerosol at first, so I think I'll pick one up. Thank you!

[ook.livejournal.com]

No no no. An aerosol won't do much of anything. You need a LOT of fluid to flush out all the crud in your head and an aerosol won't do it when you're so congested.

Get the neti pot and dry powdered saline stuff that you mix with warm water (I buy a couple of gallons of distilled water to use and then heat a couple of cups of water up in the microwave and carefully test the water temp before using -- you definitely don't want water that is too hot!).

There's how-to videos on the site. You can buy the neti pot kits at Walgreen's.

*leaves soothing potions on your nightstand*

Ah, I love that film... I finally got it on DVD (used to have it on VHS) for very little a month or so ago. It is so sweet and mellow.

I just adore the way the movie ties everything together, and I love how the couples are interwoven into the plot, and I am really impressed with it now that I've seen it again. It really is a good movie! This time around, I was more attentive to Harry's POV, for some reason.

Thank you for the soothing potion, I really appreciate it!

And the music is excellent, too :-)

You just can't go wrong with a Rob Reiner movie. :-)

Only too true! I wish I had saved it on the DVR now. :(
