I am somehow feeling less tired now than I did when I first got here.
That's odd but good.

Spicy food, le n? Or, do you have a humidifier?

anyone recommend options for congestion?
Steam. I have a steam gadget, but you can put your head over hot water and hold the steam in with a towel over your head. A hot shower can do it too. My approach is to clear out my nose, then use a nasal spray decongestant.

I miss many things about Georgia, but the regular threat of tornadoes is not one of them.

lisah and Ginger,
I have a humidifier, but I felt like that was clogging up my nose, not helping, but you know, I'll try it again tonight. I don't want to be stubborn.
I will also try a shower. the last one I took, my nose started bleeding, but since I'm taking meds, maybe that won't be a problem.
I hate sticking things up my nose but see my note on stubbornness. I will try that too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'll second the bowl of steam. I usually throw in a tea bag with a strong scent and sage or something that my nose will recognize. Then hold it in your lap and put a big towel over your head so you're inhaling as much steam as possible. It'll make your nose run.
Also, hot and sour soup will make your nose run. And I find the hotness feels good on an irritated throat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just remembered--I used to treat my headache by inhaling menthol steam back when I was ten or so. I wonder if I could pick that up again?
Have you guys seen the VW ad? I am not feeling the accusation of racism on this one, no matter what Andrew Ti says. I would so much rather people hear that patois than any I've seen on TV in forever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
