The economy is on free fall and most of us are clutching our wallets a little tighter and count the change a little more carefully and think twice or thrice before making a purchase these days. And now the holidays are coming and the money doesn’t stretch as it used to. Some very nice bloggers on plurk want to help two peope who are struggling to buy their loved ones presents by holding a contest across their blogs. I was supposed to participate, but having lived the last week in a big hazy blur, I didn’t remember to check my private plurks and I missed the final call.
To enter, go to each of the following blogs between November 23rd through November 26th and comment on that day’s post, one comment per day per blog. If you have a blog, do what I’m doing and blog about the contest to get the word out. They will announce the winners on the black Friday. For more information, go to each of these blogs below. Good luck!
It seems as though I utter the words “I’m so exhausted” every minute these days. I’m suffering from exhaustion, and my body shows a number of symptoms that I’m well acquainted with and that I associate with exhaustion. The problem is that most of these symptoms seem unknown to my friends and coworkers as resulting from exhaustion, and they either look at me strange or laugh at my face calling me a freak.
I would like to know if any of you heard of or suffer from the same symptoms.
- Nose bleed. I’d be sitting at my desk and working, and suddenly blood drops out of one of the nostrils. Or I feel my nose is runny. I grab a tissue and wipe my nose and it turns out it’s blood. It rarely happens though.
- Painful nostril. One of the nostrils get red and hard and painful.
- Tongue needles. That’s the term directly translated from Korean and I don’t know what they are called in English. Some teeny little protrusions on tongue that feel like needles poking on the tongue. At least I know some people (Koreans) suffer from it.
- Pain on the side of the tongue. It feels like a small part of the tongue has become stiff and it hurts.
- Cracks at the corner of the lips where upper lip meets lower lip. I would first get some suspicious redness around the corner and the next day, the corner would look like it’s cut slightly to make the mouth bigger or something. It hurts like a son of a bitch.
- Slight numbness of the face. The face doesn’t feel a little strange, until I touch my face (I do that a lot since it feels strange) at which point my face feels numb.
So? Anyone? Anyone?
Serious Stuff. Seriously
