A Day in the Life of a PNM

Rush Countdown: 2 days
Mood: Impatient

I'm in the process of packing all my stuff up. I move into my new apartment during the second day, so atleast for the next two I will be busy packing up boxes and saying goodbye to a town I hopefully won't have to come back to anytime soon.

All I have left to do is get some last minute things like band-aids and what not.

God likes to play funny jokes on me. And this time he has made everything from ragweed, pollen to tree spores bloom. So my nose is running like a waterfall and my voice is on the edge of disappearing. The last thing I want is to be sniffling the whole time. That sure is lady-like.

get some claritin. I started feeling crummy last friday night, and took claritin late friday night, saturday and sunday and by monday I was feeling tons better. I'm still taking it (I bought a 10 pill pack) just to make sure it's definitely gone.

Thanks! The problem is I'm already taking Zyrtec for allergies. So I don't think I can take anything else along with that. Hopefully, I'll try and flush my sinus out with salt water. Sounds gross, I know, but it really helps.

I'm excited that you're rushing in 2 days! I hope your allergies clear up.

It is so disgusting, but it certainly does work. I prefer the squeeze bottles to the ceramic pot, but it really does help. However if you're like me be careful because sometimes the salt water drains out later, and that's really not attractive. Mucinex can help if you're congested.

My best friend swears by her Neti pot. I have no idea how you people manage to get the water in one nostril and out the other, but it's fun to watch! Feel better!

The only thing I've ever used was a squeeze bottle with salt water. Today was the first day I saw Neti Pot.

I don't know who all is from Texas, but now that all the horrible rain has finally stopped it seems like everything is in full bloom.
