The dreaded cold

I caught a cold, which is not surprising considering the amount of people I was around last weekend at the wedding  Lots of close talkers.  My huband's jacket had dried spit marks on the shoulders from people spraying while attempting to have a conversation with him over the band music.

The only good thing about this cold is that it is moisturizing my nasal passages and giving me some relief from the chronic nosebleeds I have been experiencing lately.  2 nights ago I just laid my head down on my pillow and my nose started bleeding spontaneously.  I think it's all this extra blood flow and volume I have going on.  I had a capillary in my right nostril cauterized with silver oxide at the ENT this time last year and I really don't want to go that route again.  Very uncomfortable and I don't think it actually worked that well.

My humidifier sucks. It's extremely loud and barely has any output.  I ordered a new one on Amazon yesterday and am considering taking this one back to Walmart.  But I hate going to Walmart, especially this time of year.  Does anyone have a brand of humidifier that they like?

Last night, I watched Secretariat.  I had always resisted seeing this movie for some reason, but I am running out of things to rent on Netflix.  It was a great movie and a true story.  I remember when I was explaining how IVF works to my aunt and she said, that's like Secretariat.  So if you need a feel good movie for the holidays, this is a good one.

I started reading this book by the woman who created the Dooce blog.  I seriously laughed until I was crying last night.  She did not have infertility issues (knocked up the second month of trying), but she is so funny, you forgive her.  I found it at the public library and I figured I might as well read about post partum depression and get myself prepared the that, because I saw a graph of what my are hormones do after pregnancy (it's like a complete cliff dive) and I'm a little scared it might send me off into the deep end.
