My stupid sinuses are not adjusting to this cold weather very well. They started bleeding on Friday, and have steadily become more and more painful. This morning in the shower, I got my first ACTUAL nosebleed (not just the small amounts coming out now and then) and had no idea how much blood ends up going down the back of your throat. It made me crazy nauseous. Apparently, this is normal, and should pass once I get used to the cold.
Dan and I were both starting to have cabin fever from me being stuck inside trying to give my sinuses a break. I'm also used to walking Nandi at least 2 miles every day and going to the gym at least twice a week. I was dying for excercise. I suggested we walk over to the PX (for those not associated with the military, the PX is like a super tiny Target) since it's right across the street. I bundled up: undershirt, sweater, light jacket, snow jacket with hood, mittens, hat, socks, and boots. We stepped outside.. and I couldn't even BREATHE it was so cold. Like, it HURTS to breathe in air like that whether through your nose or through your mouth.. sort of like when you've spent too much time in the pool holding your breath and afterwards your chest and lungs hurt. We did indeed make it across the street, but I probably just killed my sinuses again. The pain in my nose and under my eyes is pretty hard core at the moment.
I think we're going to see the ice sculpture festival tonight.. assuming I don't die in the process. Ha ha. I'll post pictures if we go.. it's going to be crazy awesome. Oh, and P.S. I've seriously slipped every single time I've gone outside.. sometimes more than once. I can't even let go of Dan because he's the only thing keeping me from totally eating it. Pbbbt.
