• Since having been sick, I have tried a lot of meds, to no avail. The Aleve-D Cold and Sinus is great for allowing me to get stuff done but it seems to be hampering my ability to heal.
• I went on this Earth Clinic site – upon which I stumbled while Googling sinus infection cures – and decided to go the homeopathic route. I am on cup #2 of apple cider vinegar. People on the site recommended all sorts of variations. The main formula is 8 oz. hot water, 2 tbsp of ACV and 1 tbsp of honey. First cup I made it in green tea to mask the ACV taste. It did, to an extent. I filled a coffee mug and drank half; it might have been 6-7 ounces only.
• Cup #2 I used exactly 8 ounces, made it with Constant Comment and it was way tangier. I put one or two drops of lemon extract and managed to drink it all.
• So far, I am feeling better. Face pressure is easing up and my nose is a lot clearer. Most people said a couple days got them over it, even when antibiotics had failed. I’m normally the first to go running for those but to be honest, I want to avoid them. They wreck your immune system and – without fail – I always get a yeast infection.
• That was way TMI but hey, you understand.
• That was all written Monday afternoon and now, Tuesday morning, I am feeling much better, though I attribute some of that to laying in bed ALL NIGHT. We got home around 5:30, made dinner, and by 7:30, we were in my bed watching a movie and I drifted in and out of consciousness until 11 when I just went to sleep.
• I feel much better today, though still have to blow my nose a gazillion times. And I will most likely go through another couple cups of the ACV mixture. Seriously folks, this stuff works!
• On a completely different note, I gave a homeless vet a dollar today. I don’t know why but he seemed less scummy than some of the beggars in this city.
• Oh, hey, did you know it’s Valentine’s Day? Yes, another Hallmark holiday. I don’t much care for it/about it but I did make little bags of junk for the kids’ classmates and have a little thing planned for the hubs.
• I’m slowly piecing my life back together; it’s rough when you don’t feel like yourself for weeks at a time. I’ve been drifting, trying to make sure I get everything done but always thinking I have surely forgotten something. My brain is cloudy.
• Well, I have a ton of things to do and I am sure you want to move onto other blogs. Happy Tuesday!

Man Candy is Cyril Giustiniani. Don’t know much about him but he’ll do for today. Happy Valentine’s Day 😉
