Y'all.
(Don't eat while you read this. It's disgusting.)
My nose has been running thin, clear snot since . . . I don't know when, but I know it was happening this spring while I was trying to work in the vegetable garden, because I had to keep my pockets full of tissue so I could work. This continued all year. I blamed it on allergies.
Last week, when I went to the doctor for my yearly physical, he prescribed antibiotics for a sinus infection. I've been taking them for a week.
This morning, I got up, poured some coffee, made some toast, and sat down to resume a video that I'd abandoned last night before bed. Pretty soon, I began to hear noises - cracking, popping, squeaking noises - coming from INSIDE my head. I blew my nose, and what came out looked like (and had the consistency of) well-chewed, yellow-green bubble gum. It must be vintage snot, breaking loose from deep recesses. It probably has spring pollen in it.
I guess the antibiotics are working.

Yesterday, despite temps in the '20s, I went out shopping for groceries and craft supplies. Not long after I got home, the mailman delivered craft supplies I'd ordered the day after Christmas.
This week's crafts focus on air-dry clay and UV resin. In the past, I've played with polymer clay and two-part resin but did not produce anything noteworthy with either medium. I threw them away a couple of years ago during The Big Purge - I did not like the toxic fumes - but I still have all the tools and molds.
I'd never worked with air-dry clay until yesterday. All I did was form some small shapes and set them out to dry. I want to paint on the clay. The plan is to try different kinds of paints, see what I can come up with.
My BFF is gearing up to play with the same craft materials. I wish we lived in the same state.
