Entry: As Sick As a Cow Tuesday



As sick as a pig.
As sick as a dog.
As sick as an angie low.

Call it whatever you may, I am as sick as can be.

Eyes are teary and can barely stay open.
Nose is blocked.
Hence, Mouth has to open and close constantly to breathe - very unattractive.
Nose has to do the periodical *sniff* *sniff* or *SNIFF!* or sometimes, *hnnnnergh* into the 2nd box of tissues.
So many trees has died because of me.

Was searching for a drug at home to knock me off to sleep last nite but none to be found.
Couldn't sleep.

There's this game I play when I have a blocked nostril.
Note that i said, NOSTRIL not both, but one nostril at a time.

Game:
Only to be played when one cannot sleep. And of course has a blocked nostril.

Turn to the left - left nostril gets blocked.
Turn to the right - right nostril gets blocked.
Easy right?

So the whole night was spent on tossing to the left and right to move the 'liquid' or pressure around.
With each turn, I get to breathe a little better for awhile.

Ok, that's pathetic.

But I get a temporary relief from moving the 'stuff' from left to right and vice versa with a 40sec window opportunity for breathing with BOTH nostrils unblocked! Surprise
Why 40 sec? Because I counted!
I spent the whole night analyzing this because i just couldn't sleep.

Ok, I am getting sick in the mind as well.

Updated an hour later after doing some mindless research:

Blocked nose on one side
May 5, 2005 4:44 AM

I've always had a constant blocked nose right through the winter and summer. I can usually breathe okay through one nostril, but the other is blocked.

The side that is blocked can shift, for example if I lie down on one side, that will become the blocked side. They will never both be unblocked.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Does it point to any problem in particular?

Maybank is opening just below our office!
How cool is that! I can do all my banking just few floors below.
Not that I use it anyway - m2u is the way to go, hehe.
But good for emergencies i reckon.

Mr Tay woke up this morning and exclaimed,
"Shit, it is only Tuesday."

 

Happy Just 2nd Day of the Week, people.

Well, it is already 3rd Day of the week now. So..

The cure of ONE blocked nostril is to go to a warm shower, after some time, blow your nose.. the warm shower, the vapour from the warm shower is very effective in loosening mucus. I guarantee you that your nose will feel soooooo much lighter after that.

3 mornings ago, after emerging from the shower, my DT said that he blew out a BIG blob onto his palm from just one nose. So gross!
