I got a LOT of things this weekend.

I got a daycare center. I got gifts. I got kitty cuddles. I got treated to a wonderful brunch. I got taken out to dinner by my husband. I got to level 73 in World of Warcraft.

I got a nasty cold.

I'm not so happy with the last item, but oh well. It is what it is. Scott is very nicely doing some of "my" chores while I sit still and feel sorry for myself. I would do something more useful, but I haven't got the energy. Bleh. I do have a mug of tea, though.

I haven't processed the photos from the baby shower yet. Or done several other things. I will - eventually - but I think for now I will drink hot tea and rest. Because I totally lack brain and focus, sadly.

Lots of good stuff there. Hope you feel better soon.

So happy for everything . . . up to the last one.

If you're congested, may I recommend a Neti pot of some variation? It's the only way I survived several sinus infections while pregnant with Leo, since I wasn't allowed to take my preferred pseudoephedrine for decongestion purposes.

Thank you for the thought, but no. Thanks to my allergies focussing on congestion, I've had that and/or other nasal irrigators suggested a number of times. I'm well aware they work for a lot of people - or I would call them expensive quackary, because they are the most miserable, awful thing to do to someone in the name of health that I can personally imagine. They don't work for me. They do make me feel worse for a while after using them because they are so awful, but that is all they seem to accomplish. Since they work for others, I have to acknowledge they have value, but I don't ever want one near my nose again.

Also fortunately, I can take decongestants - Sudafed PE (not regular Sudafed with pseudoephedrine, though!) is okay during pregnancy, per my doctor. This is good, 'cause otherwise I'd be even more unhappy about this.

Ah, well. It was worth a thought. Not every solution is for everyone, and clearly this one isn't for you!

So jealous that you have pharmaceutical solutions, though. I wasn't allowed anything other than IBU during my pregnancies.
