I spent most of the late morning and into the later afternoon helping my neighbor clean her house. I cleaned all of her kitchen – counter tops, fridge, sink, organized LOTS of things, vacuumed her house and took a break a bit after 2pm for mine and Katie’s lunch then I put her down for a late nap then went back to cleaning and didn’t stop until it was time to come back, get Katie up, fed, and get our dinner cooked for later. Well, a bit later on before the gym when Brad came home – I could tell that my sinuses were kind of acting up *just* a tiny and the upper left side of my gums were starting to hurt. Yea, too much exposure to cig smoke/dust for hours and hours = irritation to my sensitive sinuses. I should of taken some pain relievers before we went to the gym but it was only a little pain, so I figured it would be OK. I had been doing HEAVY cleaning all day, so I knew I should take it a bit easier at the gym. STATS >>>

As I continued to work out the pain got worse… and worse… and worse. I was in pretty bad gum pain by the time I was done. I drank plenty of water, had a protein bar and we talked to the front desk people for a bit before heading out. It was a bit earlier than usual, so we decided to go to Wal-Mart, since I wanted another protein bar & energy drink. Well, we wound up in a traffic jam for like 15 minutes to go a short distance and then went to the store and got 3 items but stood in line for another 15 minutes. Brad was not impressed and I was in SUPERRRRRR pain by then. I almost cried & I’m really good with pain. SUCKED MAJORLY. Came home, got Katie, bath+bed for her & Brad was super grumpy… didn’t help. Took some meds, ate my turkey mix, while taking a HOT bath and now here I am. The meds are finally starting to kick in but my gums are still sore to the touch.

Gonna browse Facebook then play on my iPad for a long while before bed! Hope I feel OK tomorrow, thank goodness it’s a rest day. Prob not gonna do much of anything, besides fold laundry and I *might* go help my neighbor for an hour or so tomorrow afternoon, maybe – depending on how I feel. I just don’t think I can be exposed to the dust/cig smoke for longer than 1-2 hours. Anyway, I’m out! Have a great night!
