Woke up this morning (a few hours after having finally got to bed) in considerable distress, as it had become immensely difficult to breathe. The subsequent coughing fit helped a little, but I remained awake and upright until I felt that my throat had fully opened up again.
I opted to not share all my snot and germs with the world, and stayed miserably in. (Not to mention, I was dead to the world until late in the evening.) Disappointing, as there was a lot of fun that I'd rather have been having, but...
In accordance with the advice I'd passed along to my aunt about neti pot safety, I used pre-boiled water to rinse out my nose. Hooray neti pot. Amazing amounts of crud came out, and I felt much more human after having done so.
#dw is hopping. There are new people! Old people returned! Chatty people! There are good times. Rah has instituted a new thing, the regular channel stretch break -- voluntary, but useful.
It is satsuma season here. Delicious. I have been eating a lot of them, and grilled cheese sandwiches, this week.
