SO VERY DIFFICULT.

Today is Day 6 of the worse sinus infection I have ever had in my life.  My visit to Urgent Care on Monday yielded a lovely prescription of Amoxicillin.  48 hours later, it feels like maybe. . just maybe, it is kicking in.

I'm not getting my hopes up.  My OB's office indicated that the common cold could last 14 days during pregnancy.  This must mean that a big bad sinus infection will last until Christmas.  I've already gone through two large boxes of Puffs with Lotion.  My upper lip / lower nose wouldn't have fared better with a Brillo pad and a bottle of alcohol.  Seriously  Raw.  Meat.

Meanwhile, while I was stumbling around the house today, I managed to stub the "ring" toe on my right foot in such a way that I tore the nail to the quick (because I'm a dog?)  Seeing the copious amount of blood seeping from my appendage, I made my way to the bathroom and clumsily attempted to prop my foot on the sink.  I say clumsily because I totally dragged that toe up the front of the vanity and across the sink.  I'm thankful that I even procured a flippin' nail clipper, in my state.

Yes.  I left a trail of toe blood from the kitchen through the dining room and hallway and into the bathroom.  I think I got it all. 

Additional blood to help circulate life in my pregnant body?

Check.

No bueno! Poor Maggie was probably scarred shitless. U be careful. Sadly though, I would have loved to see this attempt at finding a clipper. I'm sure it was hilarious.
