stuffy nose

yup. i woke up with a stuffy achy head yesterday and today again. i am determined to beat this thing down with vitamins and liquids. that and a hopeful visit to the chiropractor. for some reason a chiropractic adjustment seems to help the stuffed sinuses. maybe it releases them, who knows. but for me it works. and since i don't have medical insurance, it will definitely be better than being completely hyped up on nyquil and dayquil for the rest of the week. and yes, for all you moms out there, i am taking my vitamins and eating a lot of soup. i promise.

i am also drinking a ton of liquids. so much, in fact, that it makes me wonder why one should drink so many liquids. i seriously got out of bed last night 4 times to pee. that does not mean i got a good night's sleep. so if you are supposed to drink all these liquids, and you are supposed to get lots of rest, how do those two go together? granted, i did crawl into bed around 9pm and got out of bed at 9am, but still. it just doesn't make sense to me.

in other news, the weather here is quite nippy but the sun is out. they say we're going to have a "thawing" weekend which i am all over. i think it may be time to seriously start planning the garden. i need to buy some wood, figure out how much soil i will need, and figure out how much it will all cost. and then i will need to convince some friends (maybe those of you out of work??) to come on over and help build some raised beds. i just hope i can figure out the whole timing thing. the season thing is new to this CA girl. but i'll get it down and in doing so, i will definitely have some kick-ass tomatoes this year. 

happy thursday everyone.
