Fighting My Sinuses, For A Good Cause

By Leslie Rupiper

I really didn't think I'd be at work writing this today.  Instead, I figured I'd be on my couch with a wash cloth on my head.  I have the worst sinus headache! I don't get them all that often, and when I do, a good dose of Advil Cold & Sinus usually clears it right up.  But not today. It's hanging on with a vengeance.  The worst part is, I think this headache was self-induced.

Last night, I stayed up late watching "The Last Lecture" program Diane Sawyer reported on Tuesday night.  Fiance Thom had it saved on his DVR, so I decided to watch it. If you know the show or know anything about Randy Pausch and what he accomplished before he passed away from pancreatic cancer, you know it was a pretty tear-jerking program.  When I went to bed my eyes were pretty swollen and I felt a headache coming on, but figured it would go away with a good night's rest.

Was I sadly mistaken when I woke up this morning.  We've all had headaches, so I won't bore you with the details of how awful that can be. You already know.  I hope it's just from a night of crying and not a cold coming on.  If it is just a headache from the emotion of "The Last Lecture"...I have to say it's probably worth it.  The show had many moments that I won't soon forget. If you have a chance, check out a sample...just click here.

I watched it as well and what an inspiration he was. I can't wait to buy his book! Hope the headache is better.
