tore me a new one
I have been blowing my nose so much recently due to an unexpected bout with hayfever, that I think I opened a new sinus in my head. I don’t mean that I re-opened an existing one with my nostril pressure skills, but rather, created a new cavern between my eyes, brain, and right above my mouth. It sounded like a scene from Genesis– whooshes and the eruption of new life. Unfamiliar and atavistic sounds came from my head, despite the fact that my mouth was tightly shut. That’s what I get for reaching to the floor for the tissue box, and blowing my nose before I stand up straight again.
