Snort

I woke up this morning barely able to breath through my nose, snorting and gasping louder than the little schnauzer under my pillow. Usually when I can't breath it's because I've been sleeping on my right side, but this time I was lying on my left side, curled comfortably around the big dog. An allergy attack was my first suspicion so I got up and took a pill. Just an hour later, a sneezing fit added to my misery. The pill wasn't working, maybe it wasn't allergies. Into the bathroom armed with mini scissors, a flashlight, and my reading glasses, I attacked the hairs in my nose. Often the hairs in there grow at an alarming rate, and reach across the nostril to tickle the other side, resulting in uncontrollable sneezing. Snip, snip, snip, it was like clipping copper wire, and the sensation of the scissors up there kept launching me into more sneezing fits. Finally there were no more hairs in there, yet I still could feel that tickling sensation, like a feather stuck up my nose. My eyes began to water, and snot ran out of my nose.

I hate days like this. It's like my sinuses are swollen so large that they are pushing my eyes up into my brain. Four Excedrin later and I still can barely breath through my nose, and my head still feels like a pressure cooker. There is only one more option, and that's to take some Nyquil and go to bed. At least it will stop the sneezing, and runny nose, and I'll get some sleep. On top of that it has the added bonus of giving me some bizarre and truly strange dreams which might give me some good ideas for future Alicia, and Alexis videos.
