Is it Friday yet?

Today has been spectacularly unproductive even though I’ve done many things.

• I woke up before my alarm and actually had breakfast before class instead of after
• I learned that I still suck at sight reading crowded music sheets
• I made a lovely roast beef and honey mustard sandwich in a fresh gourmet hot dog bun*
• I watched a DVD I got myself for my birthday (I know that’s not how it’s supposed to work but bugger off) and enjoyed it way more than I should have
• I have also been trying to sneeze less than once every five minutes cause I think I’ll throw out my back like this

Stupid lousy sinus cold. Not that long ago I didn’t even know what that was. Ok, I knew where my sinuses were thanks to endless tv commercials but that was as far as it went. It was something that happened to other people and Tante. Tante tried to explain to me why sinus pain is a blight upon humanity and the only reason she could breathe some days was thanks to Tylenol Sinus but it never sunk in. The fact that it often devolved into French ranting far beyond my vocabulary or comprehension speed is neither here nor there. This is what I get for visiting my family over the long weekend. Mom and my brother were in various stages of it and now I brought it back here to Windsor. It takes a lot of the fun out of a many hour road trip when you can’t sing along to your stereo. Now I have my very own bottle of Tylenol sinus and some honey-herb pastilles to make the hurting go away.

*Did you know you could get fresh awesome bread and buns at Shopper Drug Mart? I didn’t. I needed some anyway to go with the hot dogs my brother gave me and the roast beef my Grandma made me but this stuff is nicer and softer than the stuff I used to get at the grocery store. Much closer too. I just thought I’d share that so that it might sink into my brain to check out the rest of their grocery section for other goodies.
