I have spent most of the last WEEK doing mainly one of two things- sleeping, and blowing my nose. Or trying to, at least. My husband, what a guy. For really all of last week, he picked up groceries on the way home, cooked dinner, did most or all of the cleanup afterwards, took care of Kaitlyn and the boys-while I moaned about my lack of oxygen intake and honked pointlessly into a growing mountain of Kleenex.

Then I discovered, tucked away in the back of my bathroom storage, a forgotten-but-still-sealed bottle of Vicks Early Defense nasal spray. It was a freebie at BlogHer 2007 in Chicago, and I snagged about half a dozen bottles since I have allergies and get tons of colds. Let me tell you what-that stuff is STRONG. One spray feels like you stuck a sharp stick into the side of your nostril, but dang, it opens that sucker up and next thing you know, you are BREATHING FREELY.

I took long, Vicks-and-Sudafed laced naps with dreams that were just plain weird, but my dreams are weird anyway. In fact, a nap sounds pretty good right about now…

More cheers for Adam, Martin, and Ashley at IZEA, who slaved over this blog until it became perfection. Poor Adam, I think I’ve just about driven him nuts with all my “oh, one more thing?” emails today. But dang, yo, it’s HOT in here! I even brought back the ole’ blogroll, although now that I see how long it is, I’m thinking it will have to move to the (um, yeah) Blogrolls page (durrr) and I’ll figure out something else to put in it’s place.

How would you feel about a chat box here? IZEA’s got this Cloudshout thing, it will show you when I’m logged in to the blog and you can chat with me right there. That could definitely be on it’s way.

So yeah. Slightly better breathing ability today. Tons o’ posts to write of course, but isn’t there always? Happy with the blog. Excited that a blog friend I’ve been chatting with on Messenger for over a year will be in Michigan in May and will meet me for lunch! All in all, not a bad Monday at all. How’s yours?
