He wanted me to try a corticosteroid for two weeks, and I\u2019m going to do acupuncture, so I was hoping something would work soon. I\u2019m sick of this whole sinus thing!&nbsp; If I ever get another sinus infection (GOD FORBID!) I\u2019m going to ignore those people who say, \u201cJust give it time to drain. Sinus infections are stubborn.\u201d&nbsp; I\u2019m going to be very proactive in getting immediate relief.&nbsp; The second acupuncture visit was fairly painful this time, and I\u2019m not sure why.&nbsp; I had acupuncture several years back about another sinus issue, and I don\u2019t remember it being painful at all.&nbsp; But I dealt with it. I went to my mailbox and got my packages, and then hit Jersey Mike\u2019s for a sandwich. I was starving!&nbsp; But when I got in my car and opened my sandwich, I pulled out a long, red hair from between the buns. I don\u2019t recall asking for that topping! YUCK!&nbsp; I tossed the entire sandwich away without taking a bite.&nbsp; Frankly, that\u2019s put me off Jersey Mike\u2019s for a while.&nbsp; I went to the Jack in the Box drive-thru and got some food to go.&nbsp; I got home, did a quick audition, and then worked around the house.&nbsp; I put a cold-pack on my face and took a nap.&nbsp; I got up later to do my nightly auditions, typed out Wally\u2019s&nbsp; Week, fed and walked Roxy, made a Tombstone pizza, and started in on a brand new TV series for my nightly viewing\u2026\u201dLove American Style!\u201d&nbsp; And in the very first episode there were appearances from my late friend Yvonne Craig, the great Gail Fisher (from \u201cMannix\u201d), and Flip Wilson!&nbsp; Even Jane Wyatt was in an episode.&nbsp; Just before I went to bed I checked the Eaglecam and found out that the little 2 month old baby eagle had fallen out of the nest.&nbsp; Luckily he\/she can fly a little bit, so he\/she glided safely to the ground.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Tuesday the 14th \u2013 CLOCK ME IN! \u2013<\/span> When I got up at 11 I got cleaned up and headed to Voice Trax West for a quick session for 76 gas stations.&nbsp; Then I hit Bed Bath and Beyond and picked up a really cool new alarm clock that has LED lights in it.&nbsp; The face of the clock is spherical, and the LED lights change from color to color.&nbsp; It\u2019s PERFECT for the \u201cTranquility Zone!\u201d&nbsp; I dashed home and recorded a bunch of tags for the \u201cArcher\u201d promos I\u2019ve been doing for the past few weeks.&nbsp; I did a few other auditions, and then worked around the house.&nbsp; I fed the pets, and then my assistant Sara and my trainer Natalie Duran went to Ernie\u2019s Taco House for dinner.&nbsp; When I got home I did some work, and then hit the hay for a short nap.&nbsp; All the while, Sara sat downstairs and scanned my old photos.&nbsp; It\u2019s been an on-going job, because I have literally thousands of old photos that need to be scanned into my hard drive for posterity.&nbsp; I got up later but there weren\u2019t any auditions to do, since I had done them earlier.&nbsp; I did some laundry and miscellaneous work around the house. I made some spaghetti and watched another episode of \u201cLove American Style.\u201d&nbsp; My ol\u2019 pal Larry Storch was in the episode. COOL!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Wednesday the 15th \u2013 ACUPAINFUL! \u2013<\/span> There were a few urgent auditions waiting for me in my inbox when I woke up at 2.&nbsp; I did a little work, recorded the auditions, and then went to my third (and FINAL!) acupuncture appointment.&nbsp; But it was very painful, and it even left a bruise on my left wrist.&nbsp; Is it SUPPOSED to be this way??&nbsp; OUCH!&nbsp; There were needles in the sides of my nostrils, my wrists, feet, ankles, legs, etc.&nbsp; I vowed to not go back again for more torture.&nbsp; It felt like she was drilling 10 penny nails into my face.&nbsp; In fact, the session gave me a whopper of a headache!&nbsp; I went to my mailbox to get my packages, stopped by McDonalds to get some late lunch, and then went home to put ice all over my face.&nbsp; I ended up napping until midnight!&nbsp; This sinus thing is really zapping my energy! I did feel a little better when I got up, and I did my nightly auditions, sent out my weekly movie night invites, walked and fed Roxy. I made some pizza rolls and stuffed nachos and watched another \u201cLove American Style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Thursday the 16th \u2013 A MAN OF LEISURE! \u2013<\/span> With nothing planned for the day, I lazed around the house.&nbsp; My friend (and VO contemporary) Secunda Wood texted to see if I wanted to meet for lunch.&nbsp; So we met at Paty\u2019s and had a great lunch on the patio.&nbsp; I drove around in the Mustang with the top down and it was gorgeous!&nbsp; I got home and Sara was back at the impromptu scanning station working away.&nbsp; I took a nap with a cold-pack on my face, and got up later to do my nightly auditions.&nbsp; I worked around the house, and spent some time on my \u201cWacky Wally\u2019s Vintage Toys\u201d social media accounts to post some fun St. Patrick\u2019s Day blurbs. I ate some chili and then hit the hay to be up early for a session.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday the 17th \u2013 HOLLYWOOD WHICH WICH WORK! \u2013<\/span> Just after 11am I was in the car and headed to Patches recording in Hollywood to do a quick session for some Which Wich commercials.&nbsp; I voiced a rock and roll guitar player and it was a quick, fun session!&nbsp; But my sinuses were hurting again, and it seemed like the medication just wasn\u2019t working any more. I\u2019m REALLY looking forward to the next appointment with my ENT on Tuesday 21st so I can plead for surgery to end this!&nbsp; I felt out of sorts all day.&nbsp; Not even lunch at Arby\u2019s could make me feel better.&nbsp; I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some items I needed, and some food for Saturday night\u2019s movie night.&nbsp; I got home and put the stuff away, answered e-mails, worked around the house, and then put cold-packs on my face and took a short nap.&nbsp; Later I got up and met with my pal Brittney Powell so we could go to Castaways in Burbank for a birthday party.&nbsp; My pal Jim Ojala\u2019s wife Beth was having a shindig and I didn\u2019t want to miss it.&nbsp; Castaways is way atop a mountain in Burbank and it overlooks the entire valley. The view of the city is breathtaking!&nbsp; I was finally starting to feel better (maybe the drugs were kicking in!?)&nbsp; I was told that Castaways was once owned by Alan \u201cThe Skipper\u201d Hale Jr., which would explain the name \u201cCastaways.\u201d&nbsp; After the party I came home and napped, then got up later to do some work around the house. I phoned in a food order to Denny\u2019s and drove over to get it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I enjoyed eating it while watching another \u201cLove American Style!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday the 18th \u2013 MIND THE GAPS! \u2013<\/span> Though I slept until 3, I was feeling pretty lazy all day.&nbsp; After dealing with bronchitis, flu, sinus infection (and its nasty residual effects) I think my body is a walking pharmacy; full of medications!&nbsp; I can\u2019t wait to be free of this sinus blockage so I can spend a few months detoxing.&nbsp; In an effort to scale back on the amount of meds, sometimes I\u2019ll skip a dosage of my 12 hour Sudafed.&nbsp; Bad idea.&nbsp; I think the gaps are allowing the sinuses to flare up and cause pain.&nbsp; So I need to stay on it religiously until this is all settled and the doctors decide what to do. It was a fun movie night with a great group of folks.&nbsp; When everyone left I grabbed a short nap on the couch, then I got up to feed Roxy and Spooky.&nbsp; Then I took Roxy on our late-night stroll through the neighborhood.&nbsp; I came back inside and paid bills, did some bookkeeping and made my traditional Saturday Night Super Salad to enjoy while watching \u201cHee Haw\u201d before bed.&nbsp; What a fun show!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Sunday the 19th \u2013 SUNDAY SHANNON! \u2013<\/span> Since Sunday is my usual day of rest, I didn\u2019t get up until 3. Of course I didn\u2019t really get to bed until 10 that morning.&nbsp; But the first thing I did was to drive to the pharmacy and get some Mucinex.&nbsp; I had been on Mucinex since January.&nbsp; When it ran out I took the liberty of switching to Sudafed so my body didn\u2019t become intolerant to Mucinex and stop working.&nbsp; But I just don\u2019t think the Sudafed has been working as well as the Mucinex, so I decided to go back.&nbsp; On the way back home I stopped at my auxiliary garage and swapped out the Mustang for the Torino.&nbsp; I headed back home and got ready for evening church.&nbsp; After the service my \u201cadopted grandma\u201d Shirley and I walked back to my house to meet up with my friend Emily Danyel and Sara (who was busy scanning.)&nbsp; We all headed to dinner at Jerry\u2019s Famous Deli so I could meet up with an old friend I hadn\u2019t seen in about 35 years!&nbsp; Shannon Wright used to be in our \u201cRocky Horror\u201d cast back in Sioux Falls back in 1982. She was in town for a seminar, so she and her boyfriend David met us for dinner. It was great to see her and catch up again.&nbsp; When I got home I grabbed a nap, and then got up later to do a TON of auditions for various animation projects.&nbsp; I finished up some laundry, I plotted out the new, upcoming week, made a pot pie, and watched another episode of \u201cLove American Style\u201d before bed.<\/p>\n<p>And how was YOUR week??!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">PIX FROM THE WEEK<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_3925\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/wallysweek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/wwv_20170313_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3925\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/wallysweek\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/wwv_20170313_02-500x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/wwv_20170313_02-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/wwv_20170313_02-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/wwv_20170313_02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/wwv_20170313_02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3925\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After the Eaglet fell out of the nest, he\/she was grounded until he\/she figured out a way to get back up to the nest.
