Mucinex, to help loosen the congestion?
Seconding this. Mucinex is wonderful.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, I think my desk at work needs a Hypnotoad!
Want me to try to snag you one, or do you want to wait till August 2? (Spoiler warning: I may be too busy/lazy to mail it to you before August 2 anyway.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I will try the saline spray. And the Mucinex is at home, which isn't terrible since it's the DM version so the earliest I could take it is tonight anyway.
Huh. I always thought Mucinex was best for a chest cold/bronchitis. This one is all in my head. The only reason I'm occasionally coughing is because of post-nasal drip.

Just because the cabinets are new doesn't mean you can't paint them right away and change the hardware. The rest of the house, except for the ceilings, looks great.
I do not understand the current granite love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bleh, colds. Good luck, Maria!
I have done the errands, including getting my stuff scanned, so that's good. Just in the minute I was in the UPS store in the hotel next door, I got a glimpse of how crazy that job must be. Half the people must walk in in a panic because their presentation is on their desk in Omaha or the Powerpoint doesn't work or something, and then there's the woman who, by the time I walked in, was asking directions to the closest FedEx, and me. Anyway, good times.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I must arise from the comfy chair and venture forth to do errands. Alas.
Errands includes another stocking-up trip to the grocery, because I'm not leaving the house again until Monday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Granite was why I chose this apartment--well, granite and stainless steel all new kitchen and bathroom. Still really like it, even if it's not as shiny as it was back then. I don't know what a downside to the granite would even be...it's so pretty.
I am currently surrounded by a lot of helplessness, and it's driving me up the wall. The least I can do is not be like that.
And I need one guy on IO9 to stop talking to me. He's so fucking disingenuous the whole time, and keeps trying to excuse stupid questions with shit like "Well, I don't know you. You could be stupid." Seriously dude...back off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
keeps trying to excuse stupid questions with shit like "Well, I don't know you. You could be stupid."
You could say, "Well, I don't know you. You could need a punch to the face."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Mucinex will thin out mucus any time, so if your head is all stuffed up with Ick, the mucinex will help by thinning it out and making it easier to get out of your head (the downside *can* be a runny nose, because when the Ick is thinned out, it can run).
Oh, I think my desk at work needs a Hypnotoad!
Want me to try to snag you one, or do you want to wait till August 2? (Spoiler warning: I may be too busy/lazy to mail it to you before August 2 anyway.)
Thanks for the offer, but I'll wait (especially since you're going to be too busy/lazy). I enjoy the thrill of the hunt.
