Today is the first day of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), which means that I've challenged myself to write a blog entry every day this month. I feel sort of cheap by making my first entry about the challenge, but I think it's all I can do today with all the stuff going on.
I can give you some updates, though:
1. My sinus infection is not gone. Antibiotics have helped a little bit and last night I actually slept through the night in my own bed for the first time in 5 days. I had been spending the nights either propped up on the couch or walking in endless circles in tears, frustrated and hurting. (Ask Rich - we've both felt sort of helpless lately.) I tried a saline rinse today thanks to Chelle's excellent advice, and I'm hoping that that will ease some of the pain too. In the mean time, it's Tylenol for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let's hope my liver can stand it.
2. I'm getting some excellent responses to this month's salon topics. Please continue to send them. Every idea is helpful and thought provoking. I so appreciate your contributions!
3. Since this is NaBloPoMo, maybe, if you're not a part of the contest.. or even if you are, you would consider participating in NaCoPoMo (National Comment Posting Month) so as to keep us motivated to keep writing. I know that Jen, Lisa, and Chelle are all with me on this and we need all the encouragement we can get!!
So, that's it for now. Research papers and Macbeth are calling me out.. Assholes.
j/k. I love you Macbeth!

Good luck Ginger with NaBloPoMo. I thought about it but that is a stretch for me, but I do look forward to your daily posts. Glad you are feeling better.
Hope you are feeling better! I used the sinus rinse two or three times a day, hopefully it will keep helping you out! It is freaky though isn't it?
Happy writing...the fun has begun! Oh yea, enjoy grading those papers (and yes, I'm laughing at you because I no longer have to do that). :)
Here we go Ging!
I am excited to be apart of the fun this year!! I agree with the commenting thing!! I would love to see lots of comments to help motivate me to keep going!!
I am so sorry to hear your not feeling better. How long have you been on an antibiotic? Last Spring when I had about every infection possible I had to be put on a stronger Antibiotic because the one I was one was just not strong enough! You may need to go back to the doctor and see what they think if your not feeling relief soon! I feel your pain! Hope you feel better soon!!
Well happy NaBloPoMo!! Here we go!!
I read this every day, so if you stop writing approximately 5 minutes of my day will have no direction.
So don't stop writing.
