sinuses are hell!

it starts with the dry air of the plane ride...  it always leaves me felling just a bit dehydrated...
then you add to that the dry forced air of the hotel room...  I always tinker with the thermostat to try to get the right mix of air...
but then drop me down in the middle of the desert - UGH!!!
and when we weren't outside in the dry air we were in the casinos with the forced air and oxygen and who knows what else floating around... add to that staying out WAY TO LATE - silly piped in oxygen
and you wake up Sunday with a sore throat.. nothing I can't handle.  I have all my travel gear with me EXCEPT my cough drops...  but I seemed to do OK
by Sunday night - maybe not so much - self medicated with a ginger beer Jameson concoction followed up with a jalapeno infused beer...  they did a nice job of numbing the discomfort
Monday was ~ok~ Flight back - unpack repack do it all again...
Somewhere in there this week I just didn't kick it.
More hotel air and LOTS of pollen throughout Virginia.. 
I was close to beating myself up for stupid late night partying after the wedding until my friend confirmed her son is really sick with allergies as well.. he is my litmus test of sorts...
So I sadly stayed in for the better part of today.  It is beautiful outside.  I so wanted to swim, bike, run....  but I have been hacking up stuff and sneezing and just general malaise..
SO I downloaded pics from Vegas... perhaps friends of friends can see them, I am not completely sure
gonna have some soup and orange juice now and call it a day in..
the bike is still on the trainer so if I get so inclined I can do that.. as I hack up another lung
if only I had an ocean to dunk my head in
