Can you massage your face over the sinuses? That has helped me get even more to drain when I do it before or after neti-ing.

I've been kind of poking my face in agony, but not actually massaging. I'll try that!

Oh, how awful, Steph!

I hate the running tap and pounding sinuses. Ugh.

I usually get a little relief from putting peroxide in my ears also with the neti bottle.

Quick healing to you.

My kitchen is jam PACKED with awesome food. Such a bounty makes me humble.

The mushroom gravy from Plant Pure Nation is even yummier today.

I went to the earthy crunchy store today for a couple of additions to the pantry and was CRUSHED to see that they don't carry Sriracha Sauce because it contains something unhealthy. I love that stuff. Hmph. Maybe putting it in hummus healths it up.

Well, bonny, it definitely makes the hummus yummy. I wonder if the TJs sriracha is better or worse?

I'm trying to write every day, but I'm using a composition book to do it and I refuse to pressure myself to write more than a sentence or two. I'm also trying to write one letter a week. This week it was to my dad.

I roasted some garlic & sausage along with the veg, and caramelized some onions. It was delicious and I jammed that in my face so quickly.

There is quite a bit of unhealthy food still in my fridge from the holidays. I am going to try and limit what I consume while still trying to use stuff up.

I am doing the same. I decided to see how long I can go without buying any new alcohol or sweets, but I am letting myself finish off the stuff I already had.

I'm going to try Buzzfeed's 28 day workout challenge instead of focusing on food. I need to get more active and I'm still trying to adjust to Mom's weird eating habits but I'm trying to make better choices eating.

I hadn't really formalized it to myself, but I'm doing the same things Lee, I guess.

OK, have given up on the kitchen for the day. Even though I know, intellectually, it's a many day project, seeing how much is left undone each night is disheartening. But I have picked out clothes for tomorrow and I'm freshly showered so tomorrow morning should be easy. With a little luck, work-work will not be too tiring tomorrow and I can put in a few more hours of kitchen wrangling in the evening.

Your dinner sounds delicious, shrift!

Oh, I got to tell that Muslim guy with the great tweets he was awesome today.

So I made it to the office, but I feel like that may be all I can accomplish today. We'll see how I feel after a two-hour staff meeting at 9....

I'd like to write more letters - thanks for the reminder, Kat.

Today I can't decide between my wonder woman t-shirt or my pink Marie Curie t-shirt. I think I'm going with pink.

This week's a mess. DH's last 'let's see what the whole stomach mess thing could bee' test is Wednesday and it's a big one. I'm a nervous wreck. All signs point to everything is ok and this is just A Thing, but augh. I am going to ask for ~ma and light candles but I'm also going to allow myself to be a wreck, quietly, where he can't see.

And work. SIGH.

So, hopefully 2016 can be a good year.
