Earlier last week, I started sneezing. I blew it off as just changes in the environment, possible allergies, etc.
Friday, things started escalating to sniffles and more sneezing, so I was fearing it was turning out to be a cold. Great, I thought, just what I need right now. So I've spent a great deal of the weekend blowing my leaking nose and sneezing. Saturday, I woke up with a clogged nose. Ugh.
One of the guys I was chatting with online suggested getting a neti pot to help break up the congestion. So last night, I bought one at Walgreen's. It's certainly an unusual sensation to flood my nose with a saline solution, especially if I've never done it before. I will say that it seems to work.
When I woke up this morning, my nose was very clogged, so I tried the neti pot again. One nostril was so packed it wouldn't let the water through. Ugh. I blew my nose and it seemed to free up the space to let the water through.
The good news is that I am feeling a little better. Not sure if I'll make it to work tomorrow, but I really need to go in and get things done. I'm just hoping to feel better before NYE.
