Oh I won't be sweating lol physical activity isn't my thing. I'm a fragile being. 10 push ups every hour, from the knees of course cuz lord knows I couldn't do 'em all with proper form and full weight.

Advil Cold and Sinus makes me feel too good sometimes. Probably best to keep it behind the pharmacy counter
I’ve been taking some stupid long hot showers this week, and just blasting everything out of my nose during that time. It helps.
Almost got a Neti pot the other day but i am terrified to try. I have decided the next time i get an infection like this I’m trying onion water and a neti pot though.

I've never been good at push ups. Don't foresee that changing anytime soon lol
From the knees is the way to go! You’ll be shocked at how quickly you progress if you keep at it.
Sorry that’s my fault lol
It would be to drink. Which i suppose is equally gross, but at least safe

Windy as all heck today.

Here are some of the peak wind gusts near you from today’s blustery weather - The Boston Globe
The powerful gusts were toppling trees, downing power lines, and tearing apart sheds in various communities.

I tried a sinus rinse once, had a panic feeling like I was drowning and blew it all over the mirror, never again. It was not a Neti pot though

My problem with the neti pot is that you need to boil the water first, but then you have to wait like 20-30 minutes for it to cool down or you'll burn a hole straight through your nose lining like you're Stevie Nicks in the late 70s.
Sometimes I just put in straight warm tap water because I'm too lazy to do it right, especially when you're sick.

Ahhhh, the first day back after a week and a half worth of vacation.
Always a joy. *bangs head through wall*

No you don't. You get some distilled water, put it in a coffee mug and nuke it for under a minute in the micro. Let it cool slightly then add your saline packet, mix and pour into the pot.
If you have the squeeze bottle you do the same thing only you shake the bottle to mix.
Never use tap water period.
Did you have a squeeze bottle? That is what I use. Takes some practice or you will get that drowning feeling or pop your ears. A light squeeze will force the solution up and it will come out of your mouth.
I do my rinses before I brush my teeth for this reason. They have saved me from needing antibiotics more times than I can count.

We are getting lots of snow, the squall is coming off the lake right over us. We got hubby a John Deere tractor for snow blowing and grass cutting, so he is happy to go out and play with the snow! The tractor's name is "Basil", but hopefully he won't have to thrash him with a tree branch
Had my annual eye exam today and got to have the new eye scan done that replaces dilation. Seeing what my eye looks like was fascinating. All is good but I'm definitely heading down the progressive lens route.
Brutal. I worked Monday and Tuesday last week, then had the kids over Wednesday through Sunday morning. My internal clock was totally off. Worked Monday and Tuesday this week, had yesterday off but didn't have the kids around. Working today and tomorrow, kids are here. My internal clock has once again been completely reversed.

Tap water as we have a well
Warm water
If its too cold it really hurts... imagine too hot would also
I can't say it flushed out a bunch of gunk, but it does feel better
Dr told me to use it since I worked around dusty areas

I've had that done for years. Originally Optomap although there are other brands now, I think. Well worth the extra cost. The doctor can compare images year to year and see any new issues. Whoever invented that thing is a genius.
Plus, I hate having my eyes dilated so that's a bonus.
I swear by Oil of Oregano. Take a look, I use the drops under my tongue but not everyone can tolerate taking it that way. Capsules are available too. It stops a cold in its tracks for me.
Edit to add: Joy of the Mountains is an excellent source.
Neti pot they say to tilt your head sideways and say ta ta ta ta to keep water from going down your throat
Olbas oil.....helps you breathe better than Vicks and the warmth lasts much longer
