Nose

It broke + nose update

Weird title, huh? Thankfully “it broke” doesn’t refer to my nose! Last week I posted a recipe for homemade peanut butter because I had been playing with a $2.00 food processor and came up with a recipe I liked.

Well, the other day I was making another batch of peanut butter and the food processor broke. It died. At least I pretty much finished the batch! I’m happy I at least got like 5 uses out of the processor before it broke.

Nose update: I went to see my surgeon on Friday (the 13th!!!) and came home with good news. I sat waiting in his office and had fun looking at a chart of the nose. I also had fun looking at what I call “the table of doom”… after I had surgery in 2009, that table had all kinds of instruments of torture in it that the surgeon liked to put in my nose, etc. *shudders*

On Friday he only put one instrument of torture up my nose so it was all good. He said I have some spots inside my nose that are dry and patchy so he game me some medicines. The gel numbs my nose and the spray keeps it moist. Fun times! He said that if I keep having bleeding then I have to come back. For now, I am happy!

Have a great Sunday!!

Do you have off of work/school tomorrow? Are you doing anything fun?!

Life lately & my nose

Besides driving through a random snowstorm, life has been good lately!I think I have played board games like 3 nights in a row this past week. I played a game called Elfinland at a college game night and Taboo on NYE at church and on Sunday (@ home, w/ family) because the power went out for 4 hours due to a rain and windstorm. [College student game night was a lot of fun!][My family + Jimmy all huddled around the candles and played Taboo and charades until the power came on.]

I have been staying up late (and subsequently sleeping in!) to watch some amazing movies and eat delicious food. [Goldfish and Water For Elephants… a good match.]SCALLOPS!

I have also been using Starbucks gift cards that I got for Christmas like none other. I guzzle peppermint mocha’s like it’s my business. 30 seconds later….Gone.

I’ve been scaring Jimmy. He is afraid of my biceps getting too bulky..I wore a cap-sleeved dress on Sunday and it didn’t fit my shoulders. Ugh.

He is also afraid of bowling with me.You see, I like bowling, but I just get so mad/frustrated if I don’t do well! I have a love-hate relationship with bowling for sure.

My nose has been hurting lately.I had to have my nose almost completely reconstructed in 2009 after a car accident.[Post-surgery 2009.]

For about a week, I have been experiencing bleeding within my nose and i’m pretty sure my septum (the area between the nostrils) has shifted to the point where it is causing a lot of pain + it has affected my breathing a little. I’m going to call my surgeon today and get an appointment to have it looked at, just to make sure everything is okay. :/ Bleh.

Have a great day!!
