What????
But when that stuff travels to me- it's going to be rain. Right?
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

That is awesome, Kathy!!
I found Salon through Keith Knight's cartoons (I knew him when I lived out in SF) and don't remember what brought me to TT specifically. I think it was before I started watching Buffy though. Anyway, many a year ago!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty much a wimp in the face of colds in general, but the sinus pressure here is killing me. Especially as it seems to be co-ordinated with last year's nerve blocks wearing off. I can't work out which cold medicines are effective--so far Nyquil and Delsym have barely relieved my stuffed nose.

Sad that Table Talk will never drink fruit punch again.

It was just supposed to be rain with the occasional flake mixed in. Shoot, the current forecast still says rain - someone isn't looking out the window.
So, yesterday was a bad asthma day. Finally went to the doc where I got two nebulizer treatments and still felt tight. Better than before, for sure, but still ick. Got prednosone, new meds for my home nebulizer, lorazapam (as I tend to panic with the attacks), and a nasal spray (still have to get that from the pharmacy). She said I should feel better by tomorrow. I hope so. I REALLY hope so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Try a behind-the-counter decongestant. Stimulants don't affect you much, right?

the sudafed red pill is the fucking BOMB. I'm serious. it has saved my ass prior to flying more than once.
neti pot is also awesome. My first few times I felt like an idiot, but since I could breathe afterward, my embarrassment soon passed.

Nyquil is more or less useless except as a sleep aid, IMO - too many conflicting ingredients to have any real effect. It's got enough alcohol to knock you out, but wouldn't you rather just have a gimlet?
For congestion relief, I prefer Mucinex to Sudafed - it loosens up the gunk so you can cough it out rather than drying you up. (I dearly miss the old blue Sudafed...crystal meth decongestant PLUS guaifenesin = SO MUCH RELIEF.)
