morning snags and allergies

When you leave your purse at your son's house on Sunday and go to olelo class on Monday without your purse and forgot about KUKALA (really fun Hawaiian auction) and then you are getting ready to catch a ferry early Tuesday morning but can't find your plastic and can't even get cash without your plastic, then you just start cruising for chocolate and a good movie on TV. In short, I'll miss the halau taping for Northwest Afternoon today. It is probably meant to be, I'll try to retrieve my purse and get my act ready to go to hula tonight. That is about as much as I can fit into my sinus headachey head today!

Apparently Wes is having the same kind of luck. Yesterday when I left for olelo class he assured me I'd come home to a cool room. When I got home at 10:30 the fan was blowing the warm air around in the bedroom. This morning he told his story. He went to Best Buy and got a $40 off deal on an air conditioner. When he got home and tried to install it--it was missing parts`~*&%!!! In frustration he gathered it all up again and took it back, waiting for them to credit his account. By the end of THAT frustration he decided to call it a day, came home and plugged the fan in. I'm curious as to how he arrived at Best Buy when he spoke earlier of COSTCO and Sears. Well, he will try again tomorrow.

In an effort to get my sinuses so I can function I notice a couple of things. For one, I'm trying to get rid of stuffy nose, itchy eyes, nasal drip, etc. I have a prescription med from my doctor. The possible side affects are bloody nose and headaches. It sounds to me like I'm trading a few ailments for a few other worse ailments. This sample inhalant says it has 54 doses and not to go over the 54 doses. In the beginning the dosage is for 2 squirts up each nostril every 12 hours. One catch is you should be using this before you get an allergy attack. It also takes a few days for results to kick in. So I was thinking, "I have to keep track?". I used 4 squirts months ago when I first got it. Yesterday morning there were 4 more squirts and last night 4 more. They say that soon I'll only need 2 squirts--one in each nostril--to get okay results. Oh, I forgot 2 others. When you begin you need to prime this thing so that was one. If you stop using it for over a week it needs to be primed again. Oh for goodness sakes! I'm waiting for cooler weather to clear these sinus attacks!! If this is how it's gonna be, it will be a long summer!--
