The ocean breathes salty, so does my runny nose.

I am happy to announce that I’ve re-acquired my ability to breathe!  I am also covered in lemon and honey vibes and chocolate hugs. :D  Thank you for your messages.

I have to say I was slightly scared yesterday morning in the mirror when I saw this ghostly form with no colors, dry hair, huge bags under diminute eyes and a still runing and red nose.  Yes: me.

Because by the moment I woke up, I didn’t believe it was me who had to lie (well, more like sit) in bed for days with a inhaler as a lifesaver, being taken care of by my family and even go to the hospital when all that wasn’t enough.   I thought I had been too dramatic and spoiled and felt more than a little bit shameful.   How does a person get so weak and fainty? it was just a bad flu case, complicated with the already existent asthma.  Silly Nessa.

I got scared in the mirror later that morning, because it showed me evidence that I had been indeed sick and not just overreacting.   Then I noticed a certain salty, fresh smell that felt like the best thing in the world.  I was probably smelling my own runny nose, but even that was great after a while of not being able to breathe well, much less smell something.

I’m actually laughing at the expression “running nose”, because my head is of course picturing this:

I’m sorry, it must be an old and bad joke, but in spanish you don’t say “running nose”, and in the medical world you say “rhinorrhea”.   This means I haven’t been exposed to the joke repeteadly like most of you must probably have,  and I am not immune to it!

And that is why I am still laughing.  Well, vaccine me.

Like I didn’t wish my nose actually ran away from me instead of sitting there hurting and being red and drippy and helping my already half closed throat in stopping oxigen from reaching my brain!

Oh well in other news… My computer is still dead.  But the small computer next to it is not… this small computer is just… impossible.  I just turned it on and it’s slow as hell and I’m sure it will stop functioning any second, so I’ll finish my transmission for now.

I also should go eat something.

On sick leave

Hi everyone.

Sorry about not commenting lately or not responding to your posts.  It just hasn’t been possible.

1) I’ve been very sick in the past week.  Respiratory infection complicated with asthma attacks and if I’m not bound to bed then I’m at the ER getting treatment.  I think I will be fine, but I’m not sure how long it will last… I rarely get sick, but when I do, it gets horribly complicated.

2) Two or three days ago, I tried to use my computer but my family informed me that it won’t start.  I checked it quickly and I couldn’t figure it out.  I have no energy to get into that now, so for the moment, my computer is dead.

I’ll be back soon, I hope you are all doing well.

Cool Obsession

Not much to report.

Depression has temporarily subsided because of a current obsession.

I found a “God doesn’t exist” debate going over facebook.  Of course, me being me, I entered and read the whole thing.  As you must know, I’m an atheist, and I also love learning about these things.  The debate itself is not the best, and the people who have some reasoning skills are few, but that’s not important.  The debate only gave me ideas for stuff to read online, and in the past 2 days I’ve learned a bunch of things about evolution, quantum physics and phylosophy.   One of my favorite places has been: Talk Origin.  I’m devouring it. I can’t get enough.
