A friend had surgery because her nasal passages practically stopped at her nose, which was constantly causing sinus issues. I told a colleague about it and he basically ran to the doctor to get the same procedure. Might be worth having a specialist look at it, Steph.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have a couple friends who have had their sinuses roto-rootered. I'm kinda jealous but also not sure I could handle the disgusting aftermath.

It is a disgusting process. I appreciate the results, but encourage everyone to look after their sinuses before roto-rooting is required.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Liese.

So I left for the pool just after it happened, but I was on my deck when a lone Blue Angel flew low over my head. Like directly overhead. I could see the leading gear panels. Not quite rivets, but still. It was the only pass they made directly over the hood.
So that was kinda cool.
And then I went and watched them do maneuvers over the harbor from the field.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Liese, I am so sorry. I'm glad Dave could be there with his father at the end.
I dug a hole. A big, big hole, about 3' in diameter, and about 2' deep. This involved removing the following:
- Rocks
The good news is, the 8-10" of soil on top of the FUCKING WEED MAT was good, loamy soil, full of worms and other goodness (once I removed the rocks and roots). I put that aside for re-filling the hole when I get the lovely, wee blue spruce that will go in place of the crappy shrubs that I had ripped out a couple of months ago. I will have to do a little more work on the hole in coming days, mostly breaking up the clay that's in the bottom portion of the hole and working in some compost.
In other news, my legs are sore from the bending and the digging. Also, I discovered I can rip out a sizeable chunk of root-bound weed mat simply with the power of my glutes, hamstrings, and rage. Of course, I did land on my butt when the last bit of mat gave way, but it was worth it. That stuff is nasty. After the first couple of years, it does nothing to stop weeds, but a decade after the fact, it makes it a pain in the ass to rip out unsatisfactory plants and dig holes for new ones.

I keep thinking I smell gas in the living room. I have no gas appliances other than the water heater and the furnace, and there's no smell in the alcove where the gas heater is and the furnace guy was under there yesterday and said he didn't detect any leaks. It's intermittent, which makes me think there's something else in that mess that's outgassing--could be a can of spray paint that's getting nudged as I clean, could be just about anything. Beloved, I love you, but you were such a god damned hoarder.
