cleolindaHome today from class with sinus trouble. The weird thing is, it isn't even my nose that's bothering me--it's the rest of my face, with the head and the teeth and the jaw and the ears hurting. It didn't even occur to me that it was my sinuses until my mother point it out, but now I'm all loopy on cold medicine and my throat hurts, which suggests that the stuff is draining and... ew.
(I know you're thrilled to know that.)
Sorry about yesterday's weird little post, by the way--it was just the first time the book seemed real to me, I guess. (Y'all are sweet, though.)
Before I go lie down again, I will leave you with something I remembered while talking to sepiamagpie: the most awesome yet tragic thing I have ever seen. It was a scan of some old She-Ra packaging, for the Bubble Power She-Ra doll: "She's the most powerful woman in the universe! Press her head and bubbles come out!"

So now I'm dopey from migraine meds, wired from the caffeine, and cursing the leaves outside for causing my troubles. Curse you, leaves.

Date: 2004-10-12 12:05 pm (UTC)Maybe you could post an online 'Cleolinda Sickness Meter' to show how you're feeling. Kinda like those 'we have received this much money for charity' thermometer thingies. :) It's the Information Age!

I thought Jean Grey was the most powerful woman in the universe, but hey, I'm flexible.
I would like to beg on my knees genuflecting entreat you to do, even if I have to wait years, your treatment of The Punisher. Because every woman deserves to be able to see Tom Jane's naked chest after the Navy Seals got hold of him and chiseled him up even more than he already was for the film. Plus, it has some of the best lines evah committed to celluloid. A B film, but a righteous one.

I also hope you let people steal your icon at some point, but that's beside it all. *grin*

Date: 2004-10-12 02:35 pm (UTC)get some fresh ginger root, peel it and chop it into little bits, and put in a pot of water proportionate to the amount you think you'd like to drink. boil it for awhile, till the water is nice and gingery.
next, pour it into a mug over some dried crushed red pepper flakes, and add sugar/honey and lime juice to taste.
it's quite good at clearing out sinuses and making throats feel better...provided you can deal with the crushed red pepper. ^^

My cousins, sister and I would fight over who got to be She-Ra when we played. Since I was oldest, I usually got stuck playing her winged horse...

I don't even want to think about what they were on when they came up with that.
