Guess what came out of my nose!

I thought I had a cold. It was strange though because it came on very suddenly and seemed to effect one nostril only. Also my nose would completely stop running for hours at a time then suddenly I was sneezy and drippy, then nothing again.

This was weird. Then today, I'm blowing my one nostril and of course I look at the Kleenex before throwing it away. (I don't think I'm the only one who does this.) Anyway, I look down and there's this huge burr there surrounded by snot. You know, the long narrow kind you have to pick out of your socks after walking through a weedy patch. It sort of looked like a small fish bone. Yuck!

Then I remembered that last Sunday, Em and I and some others were working at clearing out the yard of a spiritual woman who wants to build a sweat lodge in her backyard. At one point I was breaking up some tree cuttings and felt something fly up into my nose. I snorted and picked but didn't get anything of any significance out so I thought it must have been a bunch of dust. It felt big though and I do believe I was inhailing at the time.

So for five days this thing has been irritating my sinuses, trying to work it's way out. That was a good 6 hours ago and shazam! no more cold.

This was my most productive thing I did today. I was hard on the case to tie up some loose ends with changing back to my maiden name including a trip to the DMV. I was spinning my wheels at every turn. It sucks to be trying hard and not accomplishing anything...except for dislodging a foriegn item from my nose.
