i am talking about my sinus infection.
since my birthday on monday, i have been struck down by the fun that is being ill. not the fun sort of, "dude, i am SO ill, bro" kind of thing. this involves me sleeping a lot, losing my voice, and basically struggling to stay awake for longer than an 15 minutes while someone is talking to me. this sounds kind of pathetic, but i'm actually finally getting a little creeped out by it.
why, you may ask?
i am sick of being sick! i just want to go outside and be able to be free and play like kids and puppies do. look at these kids and puppies playing.
don't they look happy? want to know why? CAUSE THEY ARE NOT SICK!
the good news is that the worst of it is over. i've got a plan as to how to wipe away the annoying behavior of this sinus infection with various home remedies. i know what you all are thinking too. why don't you just go to a doctor? well, since i am without a job and living on unemployment, i'm just barely scraping by. after paying bills and paying student loans (which are private loans, so i can't defer), it leaves me with hardly a dime to really do much else. that, and i'm not the type to go to the doctor unless i absolutely have to. i've been looking for a job hardcore lately, although being this sick has led to me having a struggle with being nearly as motivated as i usually would be. i've still been going to interviews and looking for a job online, but i usually would dedicate more time in a day to each thing. today has been a struggle when it comes to keeping myself awake, but it has seemed as though i might be getting through the worst of it. there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel with this crap. on the other plus side, i've been finding more opportunities out there for work, and it has helped me get out of some of the funk that i have been feeling with the job market. my parents have been really supportive, which has been wonderful. i could use support anywhere i can get it. it's nice to receive, for sure.
anyways, back to those home remedies.
so, for those of you that have been struck down with a sinus infection, here are some things that i have found that are bound to help you out:
1. lots and lots of garlic. supposedly garlic will help with sinus issues. i don't know why, and frankly i don't feel like researching it, since i figure you the reader are on the internet reading this already anyways and have the ability to type it in your google browser yourself, damn it.
2. foot baths.
3. horseradish.
4. vitamin c.
5. vitamin b.
that's it.
when i was a kid, my mom used to take care of these problems with a method that now i wonder about. to me, it honestly seems to be an easy way to kill brain cells, but it actually did work. she would take a dry dish cloth and put a small dab of rubbing alcohol on it. then she would take the cloth and put onto my chest before i went to bed. i would lay usually on my belly with the cloth still on my chest, allowing the alcohol to soak into the skin and most likely breathed in to some degree. while this seems totally screwed up, since you are breathing in rubbing alcohol, it did actually have this method of making the coughing cease and the nasal passages to clear. i would wake up the next day and cough up all the sick shit that you've got to get out of your system, and i would go on these massive and awesome fights with mr t.
he seems like a good candidate for president based on this photo.
despite this lengthy and pointlessly long drivel, i have decided that it is time for me to hit the hay and see about making a revolution in my sleep. take care everyone, and remember to watch more doctor who, 'cause it kicks ass.
