On Tuesday I went to see my PCP and got drugs for a sinus infection. I have sinus/allergy issues often, but rarely this kind of infection. I'm still in pain and relying on ibuprophen, despite starting antibiotics on Tuesday. I'm also taking Sudafed (the real behind the counter stuff) and using my neti.

We've been fighting some kind of cold or something since last Friday. I finally made it out today to work, not having a temp. I hope we are on the other side of it now ( Read more... ) -
From our Meat CSA Farmer

We met Brian at the house and went out for ( Read more... ) -

A new week
We had a fun weekend. We managed to cook/eat more at home which is a good thing. We had our trip to DHR (Brian's haircut), rearranged Mina's room back to how it was before (she wasn't sleeping well and putting things back helped). We saw the fam on Sunday night for dinner and celebrating Colin's bday ( Read more... ) -
