ar_wahanI was driving home yesterday when I began having a very odd sensation around my nose and eyes. This morning I woke up very, very tired and with a painful right ear (feeling very hot) and pain and heat radiating down the side of my face to the right side of my throat -- the good ol' eustachian tube, I imagine. Also a runny nose on only one side of my nose (the right, of course). I thought it very bizarre to have a cold that involves only one side of my face.
I called the church to ask the office administrator something, and found out she's had the same thing! It started on just one side, then traveled over to the other side. And she has had it since Monday, and was out of the office all week until today (and she still feels awful). She says this is going around.
Oh, great.
As I was talking to her, I had to swallow a few times, and both times said involuntarily into the phone, "Ow!"
I haven't had the energy to do anything today, really, except putter on email and LJ. (Perhaps you've noticed.)
I was going to go out to the new Home Depot to see if I could get a small quantity of insulation to put at the bottom of our oil tank to protect the oil line (which exits it by the floor in the garage, then is routed up along a carrying beam in the top of the garage) from extreme cold. The fellow who came to fix the furnace on Sunday said that the cold last week might have contributed to the problem -- the oil coming out into the exposed line was turning to gell and it was hard for him to prime the pump, or something, after he replaced some parts -- and we should do this.
Ah well. Tomorrow, maybe. I decided to stay home and figure out what to make for dinner with what we have on hand, which is what led to the post about the Japanese food website. I have leftover rice, some vegetables, baked tofu, eggs . . . you can see where that's headed.
I should skip Small Group Ministry tomorrow, to spare the others from this.
After an ibuprofen, I'm at least not saying "Ow!" every time I swallow now.
ETA: Now my left ear is itching. Maybe this whole thing will be less annoying if it's at least symmetrical! ;-P

My mother was a great believer in making a hot toddy with either tea or just hot water with a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and a big dollop of honey added to it.
Hope you feel better soon!
