Down to the wire
I've been trying to hold out on posting until the inevitable finally occurs, but alas, I have given in.

Sinus infection number 3 002 in the last 6 months is now upon me. As you may or may not know, sinus infections come in pairs. First I get the viral one where my nose never stops running and my throat gets sore from all the crap running down the back of it. Then I get number too: mr. bacteria. That's when my head starts pounding and my throat swells up to the size of a golf ball. I can't blow my nose because the bacteria seem to stick together more and it turns green now.

A person from work keeps giving me stuff to get tested for allergies for free. I think this new infection is the straw that will break my back. The catch for the test is that it's for studies. So they might not test everything I could possibly be allergic to, only the ones that they have studies for. Still seems worth it. Selling my body for research. Never thought this day would ever come. I hope I get some extra cash out of this, at least to pay for my new, wonderfully expensive anti-biotics.

I just received the company acceptance note, so it's official that I'm going to Japan. YES. I just wish I had something to focus my energy on that won't drag my mind back to the past. I've obviously been listening to a lot of rock music. It keeps the blood flowing and the energy up. Surprisingly, it isn't all hard rock and metal (well, MY defintion of hard rock and metal).

PS Someone in our house has put Collective Soul's blue album in the bathroom for listening while cleaning up. Never saw that coming.

I have a feeling your illness could have been prevented if you attended smut and eggs. That 7 am bloody mary would've nuked your nasal congestion. Note to self Bruni: no more passing out at 3 am on medicine balls.
