Seriously. For most of 2010 I have been in constant warfare with my sinuses. Yeah, gross, I know. But now the snarging nasal drainage horror show has run its course, leaving me with constant pressure, zero sense of smell and DEAF in my right ear. This is in spite of the handfuls of antibiotics, decongestants and expectorants I'm taking every four hours. My tolerance for pain and discomfort is pretty high, but clogged ears are crazy-makers for me. It's like a bad international connection, when you keep hearing yourself on the line and can't focus on anything the other person says. The pounding of the shower on my head; the constant, high frequency squeal of my tortured ear canals; the utter tastelessness of everything I consume. UNCLE.
Anyways - I'm miserable, Alaska sucks, blah blah blah. I'll get back to posting when I locate the will to live.
PS - I have NEVER in my life had any sinus issues before moving to The Land that Water Forgot. To all of you who didn't receive massive sympathy from me when suffering from past sinus infections (which I've always sort of thought are imaginary), my deepest apologies.
Welcome
After spending 2 years living on the rugged coast of Northeastern Scotland, a job now takes us to Fairbanks Alaska. Originally from Oregon, I am a writer, a mother, an aspiring frontier woman, a nostalgia junkie, and a book addict. I call myself a trailer wife, which refers to the state of a person (most often a woman) who is caught up in the professional trajectory of their spouse. This blog will chronicle my journey between two places I never, ever, imagined I'd call home.

I understand your pain. It was amazing when I moved to the East Coast all of my allergies just DISAPPEARED(which in Oregon came frequent and hard every spring and fall) ! For 2 glorious years! And now... they're back. Cheeky fuckers.
