mr. snotty head, the day after

i guess technically this is NOT the day after…

…my head is still congested that my ears have only cleared out where i could hear properly ONCE in the last ten days. i even know when – 7:21pm, monday night, as i drove to our MLK shop. top down, stereo blaring new order’s brotherhood album (remastered edition) i dropped in elevation as i dropped from red river to trinity enough that my head cleared, then IMMEDIATELY went back to being stuffy enough to where i cant stop sniffling and snorting and i’m toting enough congestion around that i’ve resolved myself to the fact that my diet is going better than i give it credit for, it’s just i have two pounds of mucus in my skull.

(eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww………….)

but my throat feels top notch, no chest crap, and so today i feel like a hundred bucks. floors have been done. laundry has been done. the bed has clean sheets. i’m actually having, for the first time in almost a month, a day off that had productivity reflected in my own home. it feels nice. tonight will be an enchiladas and tequila night…

it should be noted that i wrote this on wednesday afternoon, so by the time you read it said enchilada and tequila had been consumed, and as this IS being written on the true day after, i might be all better now – or at least more so. but seriously, folks…has anybody else had a literally record-breaking bout with the their allergies this year? i’ve never felt this shitty this long in my life…and i’m typically healthy in the “sick” sense of the word…a friend of the family, who was a school nurse for over two decades, said she’s never seen this many people this under the weather for this long EVER. to me that says something…maybe bio-terrorism is afoot?)
