Sinus Infections and Forced Rest

Tuesday, August 29, 2023
First, I want to start this post off by stating that my brother did not enjoy the last blog title. Last Wednesday, he gave me a call to express his opinion, “No one said you couldn’t.” I was slightly confused so he further explained he had read my post, and wasn’t a fan of the title - it was misleading. So, I’m here to say, that he’s right. No one told me that I couldn’t do it. It was more like, “She decided to go back and finish her degree and she did it!” I digress, apologies to my brother. 

Anyway, I’m popping in for a quick little update. Last week was rough. I spent most of my days hacking up mucus, not being able to breathe, coughing so hard I would occasionally pee a little, and getting very little sleep. The doctor said it was a pretty bad sinus infection. And well, now as an adult, these take me about 10 days to get over. Thankfully, I’m on the mend this week. Still coughing, and I feel like my ears and nose are stuffed with cotton. BUT, I can confidently say we are out of the woods.


Looking at the positive, this sinus infection forced me to take a long pause. I didn’t go to the gym or run. I stayed at home, watched a significant amount of Thai & Chinese drama in bed, and drank a lot of water. It was super unproductive, but you know, every once in a while you just need that. Even if it's forced. I'm really glad that I’m feeling better though. And I’m actually looking forward to getting back to my normal day-to-day.

Now, with Fall right around the corner, there’s a lot that has to be done around the house. Mainly, I need to go through with another round of decluttering. I’m hoping that I can take this weekend to just get it all done. Moving boxes upstairs, and getting rid of clothes, shoes, and pantry items. I feel so much better once I’ve gotten rid of all the unnecessary items and packed away seasonal stuff. I'm hoping to give our house one really good deep clean before the school year really ramps up too. So, you know what my weekend plans are going to be. Anyway, that's about all for now. I hope y'all are having a great week! Until the next one...✌
