Snorkaluphagus
Sinus season struck suddenly, and now I basically have six gallons of mucus sloshing around in my head. Allegra doesn't work. Cortisone sprays don't work. Doing the 'salt water in the nose thing' doesn't work. Nothing works. I feel like a baby after a British nanny has expended her rage.
I didn't do any social things this weekend, as I feared that my head exploding would strain friendships. I know Miss Manners has a chapter on unwelcome mucus explosions, so I figure I'm just being polite.
So my weekend was spent reading, finishing up my paper model of the Coliseum, and doctoring plants in the house. Yes, my life is THAT exciting. I would nod emphatically, but again, my head might explode.

'Sploding head! How well I know the pulsating balloon of mucus that was once ones head. I personally am waiting for the first hard frost to kill off the ragweed.

Dude, I can SO relate. Literally within 12 hours of stepping off the plane last Monday, I was transformed into a mucus-filled, achey-throated monster, jet-lagged monster. Today was the first day I felt like myself - and I've stopped waking at 3am and falling asleep at 8pm. Yippee.
Hang in there and buy stock in Kimberly-Clarke!

Ick. I'm going through the same thing. Glad I'm not the only snorkaluphagus. Hope you're feeling beeter quickly.

12 hour sudafed, the kind you get behind the counter and sign the list for, not the placebo PE kind.
