261 - Anyone want a slightly used Neti Pot?

Sort of kidding.

Day 2 of the Neti Pot experience. My allergies were bad today. Granted, it's not Neti's fault. It's the pollen. I figured if I used the NP when I got home, it would help a little. It burned more today than it did yesterday. You know how it feels when you're in the pool and you get water up your nose? Well, not surprisingly, it feels like that. And this time I didn't use the whole packet of salt / baking soda. And I made sure the water was lukewarm. Not too hot, not too cold, but juuuuuuuuuuuuust right. So, I will soldier on, but... I'm not sure I'm going to keep it up. At least my nose didn't bleed today. That's progress, huh?

Today on the way out the door from work, I saw the most beautiful human being. He was tall, had long dark hair, gorgeous eyes. Oh my. He was like the older twin of the 19 year old I was drooling over in Mississippi (stop with the disapproving scowl... he's legal... and I didn't pounce). Will I ever get over this long hair fetish of mine? I thought I was done with it, but give me a good looking man with long hair and I still feel the pull. It's a holdover from my teenage years. Add a few tattoos and I'm drooling.

I received, in the mail today, some diatomaceous earth. I'm quite excited about it. I can sprinkle it in my garden and suck the juice out of the bugs that suck the juice out of my tomatoes. Bwahahaha! The irony is beautiful! The way it's supposed to work is that these powdered diatoms have jagged little edges, so they cut into the bug, and then I guess they are absorbent (something like silica?), so they dry the buggies out. You can also take it internally, as long as it's food grade. Supposedly it has around 15 different minerals, it absorbs toxins, and it rids the body of harmful parasites. For dogs and cats, you can give it internally to deworm them, or rub it into their fur to kill fleas, mites and ticks. You can rub it into your carpet for the same. It sounds amazing. I'm drinking some now, it's a little gritty, but I don't taste anything so... we'll see. Not that I have fleas or worms or anything.

I'm taking a multi-vitamin, omega-3, vitamin D, calcium and Osteo Bi-Flex. I didn't exercise last week because I was sick, but tonight I'm getting back on the horse. My point is, I'm still stuck at 170 lbs, and I'm still tired all the time. I don't drink as much soda as I did, I drink a lot more water. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck. I try to eat healthier, but I'll probably never eat what I should for every single meal. I'm looking for answers because I'm frustrated. I feel like throwing my hands up and not even trying.

On an up note, Survivors seasons 1 & 2 comes out TOMORROW!!! Tuesdays are awesome.

Does anyone get the whole Justin Beiber thing (did I spell that right?)? What the heck? I heard a snippet and I'm not impressed, he kinda sounds like a girl. And when I searched on iTunes, the autofill put Justin Beiber before Justin TIMBERLAKE. I admit I like JT. Not all of his songs, but enough. I don't think he's hot though, because I think he still looks like a 14 year old (and yes there's a big difference between looking 14 and looking 19 -- I knew what you were thinking). Regardless, he's paid his dues, he deserves to have his name come up before Justin Beiber's. (I know, it seems random, but I heard his name on tv as I was blogging).

That is all.
