1. How long has the snot been sitting at the tip of my nose, so that a tiny exhale sent it flying with great force out of my nose onto the table?
2. How many people saw the snot sitting at the tip of my nose?
3. Why is my snot so dry it can make a clink when it hits the table?
4. Is there anything else hanging from my nose?
4. answer: not anymore. took care of it.
So let's talk while we're on the subject. Because I've been having a lot of problems recently. Allergies. They are horrible in Wyoming. I can't stop snotting and sneezing - and I don't even have allergies.
Let's also talk about pink eye. Because as you may or may not know, pink eye causes a lot of snot. I found this out while in Peru. I'm guessing I got pink eye from communal hot baths that we went to. Because the day after visiting these baths I got the gross conjunctivitis. A lot of the eye being glued shut and a lot of snot. I have no idea why I would have gotten it from here....
But Christina took care of me like a good sister and followed the recommendations from this pink eye website that she found. "Sometimes it can be a challenge to get kids to tolerate eye drops several times a day. If you're having trouble, put the drops on the inner corner of your child's closed eye — when the child opens the eye, the medicine will flow into it...Cool or warm compresses and acetaminophen or ibuprofen may make a child with pinkeye feel more comfortable. You can clean the edges of the infected eye carefully with warm water and gauze or cotton balls. This can also remove the crusts of dried discharge that may cause the eyelids to stick together first thing in the morning." eeeewwww. She even sang me a song while she put the eye drops in. Of course this is also during the time I was rubbing her back and wiping her mouth while she projectile vomited.
Traveling can be so fun. And so can blogs about gross stuff. Sorry about this post.
