. . . and I thought I was gonna die

Camp didn't start off well.
550 words on the first day, and the case of the sniffles.
Day Two - another 580 so words and my head decided that it was going to try and KILL ME!

I have real bad sinus problems. Not allergies but when a "bug" shows up it attacks my sinuses first. I get the worst headaches. I get all snotty and drippy; blowing the nose doesn't help. My face just aches.  Those of you who suffer the same fate understand.
I went to the local CVS and took a good 30 minutes looking through medicines trying to get something that fit my symptoms. No I don't have chest congestion.
Yes, I have aches and pains.
Yes, I have nasal congestion.
Yes, I have sinus pressure - that's why I am here!

But...
I also have itchy eyes but I know it's not an allergy.
Get this box? Get that box?
I need something for daytime as well. Can't have something that will make me fall asleep while I am driving now can I? Wouldn't do to wrap the truck around a tree!
So I picked something "safe" that was kinda effective, but I still had the pain so I slept a lot.

One week later!!!!!

yes..a whole week I am back. I still have some lingering sinus pain and NO new words.
Do I jump back into Camp? I should...I really should. I came up with some interesting ideas while drinking hot tea and just...blargh!
I feel okay now, but guilty that I haven't worked more on my NaNo.
I've like 800 or so words I think. Monday's word count goal is 13,336.
Yeah. Not gonna happen.

I am gonna have more tea and go to bed! I is sleepy.
