What's this all about, you ask? Click on the picture and find out - after you read this entry, natch ;-)Yah, I know it's Tuesday, and not Monday, but there's a good reason for this.
I've had a cold in my nose. I hinted at this in the last blog entry I made, but it became official on Sunday. Lovely times...NOT!
(Here's a mystery for you: how do people get/pass along colds in the middle of the hot weather season? Don't colds thrive in cold weather? Just thinkin...)
Yet this is the happiest time I've ever had while completely congested - because I didn't fight it. It was, okay, I've got a cold. I've already slowed down; I guess I'm continuing in the slow lane for a while. And the weather being absolutely gorgeous (for dragons like me) hasn't hurt at all. I dined "al fresco" last night at work, in fact, enjoying the cricket symphony in the lovely balmy evening. Delicious! :-)
During this nasal experience, I stumbled across a massively mysterious item which has been a great help to me: Breathe Right nasal strips.
It's just a Band-Aid with a spring in it, basically. How could such a small little thing help with my congestion? Yet it does! I put it on, and within a few seconds, I can breathe again! :-o Your nostrils are pulled just slightly wider, and that seems to make all the difference. Magical! Mysterious! and Most Appreciated!
And here's a little bonus Mystery, if you find yourself in need of one of these little nasal strips...
If you peel the outer wrapping off of it in the dark, it will spark blue-green! The quicker you peel, the bluer the luminescence is! Try it! (and yes, you can turn the light on after you peel off the outer wrapping; this way, you'll be able to put the strip on your nose instead of, say, your third eye. lol)
Next week, I'll be back on Monday, with more mysteries to ponder, and perhaps solve. Hopefully I'll be breathing nicely without the aid of one of my nasal strips...but I'll never open one in the light of day again! ;-)
Ha ha ha, The Trippy Tuesday edition of.... that just cracks me up! I love what you wrote and I'm so sorry about your cold. You know it seems that here, where it is around 100 degrees with 100% humidity during the summer people get worse colds than in winter. It's that thing I wrote about. The hotter it gets OUTside the colder it get INside any public place you go. Those temperature extremes cannot be good for your body. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I shall have to remember the Breathe Right strips. I don't get sick very often but when I do I really get sick and I can't stand not to be able to breathe.
I'm so glad you're playing the mystery game, even on a Tuesday! ;o>
Hugs to you sweetie pea,
