With 2009 Comes…

The flu. The first week of this month I had the joy of puking (no thanks to Grant this time /sadface) for an entire day. Between the painful spasms that wracked my abdomen and the blowing of my nose due to the unpleasant nature of vomit escaping into my sinus cavity I realized this truth: Nasal Wash is an entertaining experience.

I didn’t use a neti pot, but I had the joy (should I enjoy this feeling?) of forcing saline through my nose and into my sinus cavity. It was a slow warm prod, like a liquid finger just behind my eye which then exited my skull via the opposite nostril. I did this twice per nostril, and it’s definitely a unique experience. It was almost like drowning, except I could breathe through my mouth. There’s nothing quite like it I tell you.

I got to spend a lot of time watching television, and I realized just how much I hate day time TV. No wonder half the population of our country is borderline zombified. There is _nothing_ good about day time television. I have Direct TV, so I at least can get away from the talk shows and what not; however, I’ve seen every episode of CSI that has ever been created. I’ve never been so pleased to actually go to work.

  1. I didn’t get the flu, but I got a nice cold as a present for MLK weekend. Given my weakened condition, my immune system can barely cope with anything so I still have it. When not at work, I spend my time dozing on an air mattress in front of the TV. I’m sick of CSI, The Closer, and Reba, but I can probably watch Million Dollar Baby once more.

  2. Oh yah, Million Dollar Baby is nice. I’ve seen that a couple of times. The Closer, ugh. She just kind of annoys me in some ways, the actress, not the character.

  3. I find the character irritating because, as a Southerner, I know that nobody with an education sounds as backwoods and ignorant as her.

    BTW, I was updating my bloglist and I think Fatty’s blog has gone away.

  4. Err, I meant to say the character, not the actress. =-/ I don’t what my problem is today. Maybe I’m half zoned out.

    I’ll take her down then, I hadn’t checked recently. Your link is still good right?

  5. Yes, I’m still there. You should visit more often. You’re missing some prime bunny pics otherwise.
