I'm so vain...

I am just full of mucus. Isn't that grand??! My eyes are gummy, my ears stuffed, and my nose demands attention often.

Yikes.

I'm glad I have that appointment with my doctor next week.

Last night I fell asleep wondering what I'm going to wear to this wedding we're going to tomorrow. So of course I had a dream about trying on tons of dresses and outfits. heh.

I have, really, 3 dresses I can wear. The bride has said black is ok (I guess some people have an issue with black at weddings), and I have two black dresses - one that is sexy, with a plunging neckline (well, plunging for ME), but superskinny straps. I may have to sew up the straps a bit so no-one can see my (of course, white) strapless bra. The other requires no bra, and has a straight neckline, and a sort of filmy translucent black over-thing with pinky/purple designs on it (I really have no idea how to describe it). I have a black scarf to wear with either. Both are long dresses.

The 3rd dress is a gold cocktail dress. Empire waistline, it's above the knee, and has a gold scarf.

I don't have hose for the dress, and never know what colour hose to wear with gold anyway. AND I hate hose. Hate hate hate hate.

I want to wear the black sexy one, but only if I can make it work with the bra. Plus, I can probably wear tights for warmth underneath.

Now that I've driven you ALL away by talking about things I never talk about, I'll change topics. Heh.

So last night I had my massage, and I arrived kind of flustered, since transit made me 15 minutes late even though I left work early to get there. Ugh. He was cool with it, though, since he's known me long enough to know I'm an on-time kinda girl.

Afterwards, I picked up some things at the grocery store, and went home, extremely listless and wanting to do nothing but sleep.

Instead, I made squash soup, and zucchini bread, and biscuits. Well, I started to make the zucchini bread, but we were out of baking powder. So I called Andrew and got him to pick some up. When he came home, I whipped that up, we watched CSI, and then read for a while as we ate zucchini bread. (yum in my tum!)

And then bed. And I slept REALLY WELL. Which is why this mucus thing doesn't really make sense.

My massage therapist friend Bob told me once that if you get a massage when you're injured or sick, it generally reduces the length of time you're sick for, but in so doing, compresses all the nastiness into a shorter period of time. That's why he usually wouldn't massage anyone on the day or two after their injury. Unless it was someone, like me, who he knew wouldn't mind the ouches. This might be the same sort of thing... it's driving all the nasties out into the open so you can take care of them, but it's unpleasant in the meantime. Keep hydrated!

True enough, good point. I thought of that before I went for my massage, and forgot all about it afterwards. I can hope! 2 weeks of this is really far too long.

I'm the hydration goddess, even when well. People tell me they think I drink TOO MUCH water. I know it's possible, but I'm just being healthy. (Well, er... as healthy as I can be right now, while I'm unhealthy - but usually, healthy! yes!)

Panty hose are very last century. In Texas anyway! Heheh. I wouldn't wear them unless it was for the warmth factor. That gold dress sounds really cool - I bet you'd look stunning in gold. Hope you feel better soon!
