So... there I was sitting in the hotel room... feeling like a bloated whale (as I often do while on travel) having just left the Wood Ranch restaurant in Ventura. At approximately 10pm, a small "
vurp" reminds me of how much I enjoyed the BBQ tri-tip. No harm there...
At 12:30 am I awoke with my entire head on fire... the
vurp, apparently unhappy with the reception earlier decided to return, this time right up my sinuses and into my nostril cavities.
I can't recall waking up so quickly in a long long time... at 40+ years old, I've justs discovered an entirely new flavor of pain. These are exciting times!
I spent the rest of the next day with a runny nose and this lingering smell of acid, barbecue sauce and beef. I'm not a doctor but I'm guessing that applying stomach acid to the delicate mucous membranes of one's nasal passages is probably not something you want to make a habit.
