I woke up all stuffed up. Yay! Fun! Not. And it’s so freakin’ DRY in this house!! The Gobi Desert probably has more moisture in the air than this house does. I ordered a new humidifier to replace the third of the humidifiers that hasn’t worked. This one is not a cold, evaporative one, but a steam, warm air humidifier. Sure, I’m going to risk soaking my carpet, damaging the wood in my house, but, if I get any drier, I’m going to look like a fat raisin. Okay, I think I just went too far with my imagery. Strike that. Time for a photo.

Thanks, Sam. I’m not a tea drinker, but some hot chocolate I had helped a ton. I think hot drinks help a lot.
Jayne? You remember that headache/sinus infection/whateverthehellitwas I had for weeks? Hot tea helps. Especially if you’re willing to actually breathe from the mug. It’s not very high-tech, I know, but maybe it could serve the purpose ’til your new humidifier shows up?
