I've had a cold, ever since I started studying for finals. They just love me, I tell ya. Anyhoo, so I'm all stuffed up, and I stumble upon this great website, and it says it has a cure for my ever stuffed nose! So I'm all like YAY! and give'r nuts reading it. WELL. In 8 ounces of warm water, mix a 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of baking soda (to counteract the salty flavour). And squirt it into each nostril until desired effect. Now, I haven't been able to really breathe out of my nose for the last...oh, three days or so, so I'm all over it.
Weirdest. Feeling. Ever. Swear to Allah. But it worked like a charm! Although there was one drawback, it dried out my nose like a beached fish on a hot sunny day with no clouds. SO here I am, smearing my friend's "All Naural Bees-Wax Based Lip Balm For Naturally Soft Lips" all over my nose. Not to mention the great depths therein. Feels weird, but not as weird as the salty-bakingsoda-ish water. And it's raspberry scented, so it's not too bad either.
So all in all, I would consider it a success, and I give this home-remedy for stuffy noses 4 stars out of 5.

Yikes.
School is getting hectic. I've got four finals/midterms, a ton pf papers, and two presentations all due next week. Almost quit my job yesterday. UGH. At least I have a desk now, to do my homework on, instead of the little tiny laptop table infront of the TV. I really hope I can cram all this in and still maintain my grades. We'll see.

Well, it's official.
I suck at blogging regularly. And also, Carl and I have been married for exactly one year today, and it's Thanksgiving today! We're going to go to the zoo, and go to my Moms in Airdrie to stuff our faces with turkey. Hopefully the weather gods will treat us well. I could reflect on all aspects of our marriage this past year in this entry, and I could analyse it, and blah, blah, blah. But there are wonderful smells wafting from the kitchen, and I just feel like enjoying this beautiful morning with my beautiful husband, as we start another year together. It has been quite the adventure, and things are only going to get bigger and better from here on in. I'll try to keep updated in here a little more often, but for those of you who are, or have ever been, students on post-secondary, you know how much life it sucks out of you. I'm sure I'll be able to find some time. <3
