1. Today I was plagued by sneezes that keep getting caught in my nose. While I am usually quite fond of sneezes--they felt so good--these sneezes were awful. The feeling of having to sneeze but not being able to is terrible, but these sneezes were even worse. This was the kind of sneeze that doesn't materialize and instead hurts the inside of your nose. It felt like a sharp pinch and burn.
2. Later in the day I made popcorn for my husband and myself to enjoy while watching Toy Story 3. In an attempt to separate the popped from the unpopped kernels, I picked up an unpopped kernel right out of the microwave bag. Ouch! I felt a blister growing under my skin a few minutes later. Why didn't I just wait for the kernel to cool?
