Health bomb

I've had this sinus thing for more than a week. I self medicated for a bit, and when it wasn't going away I went to a real doctor who said she couldn't do anything for me since it was viral. Just drink fluids, take pain medicine, etc. I almost cried.

(Aside: I "almost cry" a lot. I do it when I'm frustrated. It's left over from my tantrum-throwing younger years.)

The same day I was scheduled to meet with an acupuncturist for the second time. She chalked my sinus woes up to grief.

...

But, actually, it kind of makes sense. She was working on the grief stuff the week prior, and may have "unleashed a dragon." Think about it: when you cry, it's all sinus stuff. So if she managed to unleash something emotional, it could very well be tied to my face cavities. What the hell. She stuck about ten needles in my face and 45 minutes later, I had a new outlook on life and Eastern medicine.

I'm not 100% healthy, but I'm a hell of a lot better. My checkbook, not so much. $185 for two sessions, although health insurance should cover 70% of this - I just have to figure out how to submit a claim.

Oooh - state refund came in yesterday. It's all going to Europe expenses from last summer. Woo!

Last two days: $10 for misc caffeine/snicky snacks.
