Home Alone

It's Friday night and I'm home alone. I had planned to stay home this evening to ease my rhinitis symptoms (stuffy nose) and salvage the mess I've made in my room, but I'm starting to feel restless and bored. It's been sometime since I've spent a Friday night by myself. I've always had the pleasure of CB's company but he's in the Philippines chilling at some beach. That thought bugs me more than being home alone, espcially when I was supposed to go with him. I guess I'm feeling bitter that I'm stuck here working when I could've been over there having tons of fun, and I miss him. damn it, damn that Boss.

So, I've had this stuffy nose and congestion for the past week. It's been awful. I was only able to breathe through my nose so my throat is completely dry in the mornings and my lips chapped. My nose would be dripping all day long but I couldn't blow it because it was plugged up. I've been dosing myself with Sudafed daily mixed with Afrin nasal spray and I tried using nasal rinse too. I got so irritated that I even pulled out my rhinoscope to see what the hell was going on in there. Finally, I got a day off on Thursday and I used the steam room in my gym which helped to clear things up a bit. For 4 days food had no taste, I ammused myself one dinner time by pouring Chinese hot sauce over my steamed fish just to see what I could taste... nada. Barely tasted the hot sauce. For days I couldn't smell my soap in the shower, I couldn't smell if that left over food in the fridge has gone bad, heck, I couldn't tell if I smelled bad. This sucks!
