Nosebleeds persist

I've had a total of 5 nosebleeds now. When I woke up this morning, I sat up rather quickly, and a nosebleed started immediately.

Then this evening, I was trying to blow my nose a little bit, because I was sooo congested, but it started bleeding. Took well over 15 minutes to get it to stop. Sigh.

I had a nosebleed in San Francisco last year, while I was watching the premiere of The Tick on FOX. I missed nearly the whole show as a result.

Going farther back... when I was 18, I had a vicious nosebleed overnight. I woke up with my pillow soaked with blood all the way through, my face and hair covered in blood, the blanket and sheets, and my shirt. I don't remember any nosebleeds between then and San Francisco.

I have an appoointment to see my doctor this morning. I hope she can figure it out! The only other possible cause I can think of (other than stress, allergies or the cold I have) is that about 5 days ago I slightly adjusted the nose-pads of my glasses, to make them a little tighter, so they would sit a little higher on my nose.

Okay, I can think of one other reason. Having to work at my parent's place all day while Dad watches Court TV.

Terms that annoy me

warblog, warblogger (I still have no idea what they are and don't want to), blogroll (isn't that for wiping your bum?), techblog (huh? what's next, craftblog? sportblog? give it a rest!), bigpub, smallpub, bigco, smallco.

I'm sure there's more but I just had to get that off my chest. Those words just drive me nuts. As Cyan would say, they "bunnoy" me.
