I had a major revelation this morning at 4:30 AM. I've been suffering from headaches pretty often over the last week or so which is weird, because I rarely get them. I've also been having allergy symptoms - I knew it wasn't a cold but I've been stuffy, sneezy and kind of stuffy-headed feeling. My ears have been popping here and there - not painful but just kind of blocked. When I went to bed last night I was super stuffy but chalked it up to allergies since I had been in the den with the bunnies. After waking up a few times to blow my nose and then at 4:30 AM being WIDE AWAKE and wanting to be vertical (the kleenex wasn't doing it anymore) I thought, SINUS! My sinuses are having issues. Duh.
I just got up early figuring that the steam in the shower, some drugs and being vertical would help and boy was I right. Of course, I locked myself out of the house when bringing some trash out and had to wake up Brian with the bell to let me back in again. Doh! No being productive before some tea when you're sick! If I can keep up on the drugs, fluids and have some kleenex nearby *and* I can get a good amount of rest I think I'll be fine for the weekend. I'm already feeling 100 times better. Yay for using the proper medication - that's what its there for! I have to get better at recognizing symptoms and treating them earlier on, because I tend to tough it out needlessly and just end up making things worse.
Our den shelves are up (Brian put them up when he got home after working a super long day last night - he figured he'd take advantage of the fact that he could sleep in today and stay up a bit later). I'll take pics of that and our tree tonight. I can't wait to get that Ikea sectional; it will really complete the area and make movie watching with friends a lot easier.
