Stuff this week.

I'll start with the jewelry. I posted a run down of what I accomplished this week at my jewelry journal. The first three are listed in my Etsy store. I want to put the last one on a necklace before listing it. I'm trying to get at least 20+ items in various price ranges up there before really trying to pimp market my store. I vowed not to work on the weekends so I still have time for hobbies. I plan to do some sewing this weekend while I'm not running a race and taking Jonah to his first circus. The next phase of my Angel gown has been pinned to the dressform for a couple of months now. Since I've been in the office working on jewelry this week, it's begging for some attention.

As for running a race, wouldn't Murphy's law strike the day before the race and have me coming down with some sort of funk. Yesterday, I woke up with big lump in a sore throat and a stopped up nose. Last night, it was pretty bad as I was going to sleep and I felt utterly miserable. This morning, I can't really tell if it's better or not, but I think it is. My throat is still a little sore and I'm definitely still stopped up, but the congestion feels like it's breaking up a little at least and the lump in my throat is gone. I'm popping handfuls of pills to try to fight it. Vitamin C, Zinc, Echinacea, B Vitamins (just for the energy boost, really) and Sudafed and Ibuprofen as needed. All things considered, I'm still going to run the race today. I just might need to go get some DayQuil beforehand. I figure if I can make it through the race and through the circus tomorrow, then I can collapse on Monday and be sick all next week if necessary. At least that's what I keep telling my body. As a courtesy to the Smial, I'm going to say that I'm definitely going to miss the book discussion tomorrow.

I'll do a report on my runs this week after the race today.

gargle (and then swallow, so it coats the back of your throat) some cayenne or coffee-ground dry hot peppers in water (i do 1/8 teaspoon in 4oz or so of water). a small mouthful at a time until all the water is gone. it'll hurt like hell at first, but the soreness will diminish pretty quickly as the heat goes away.

I woke up all full of congestion this morning. I'm hoping it's merely weather-related..... *crosses fingers*

Hope you're feeling better soon!
