hopped up on the juice and editing photos!

Thank you all for the suggestions on how to fix my nose! In the end, the biggest help was sleeping for nearly 12 hours straight, followed by an incredibly hot shower. Whatever ickiness I have seems to be on the move down to my chest from my head, so I'm now in the land of expectorants and moving away from decongestants. I signed a magic book at the drugstore this afternoon and managed to score some Mucinex D that has a heaping dose of both of those wonder drugs. It's a shame the meth labs had to ruin it for everyone else, because that pseudoephedrine stuff is the bomb!

Since I spent a large portion of today asleep, I don't have much to report. But I did find something very cool this evening - Flickr has partnered with Picnik so you can edit your photos directly on Flickr. In addition to the standards of red eye reduction and color corrections, they have fun shapes and borders you can add to your photos. I gave Ms. Kitterson a jaunty hat in my first experiment.

halp! I has a cold and my nobe iz stubbed up

Any recommendations for cold medicine? I've tried DayQuil, NyQuil, Tylenol Cold and Sudafed PE (in addition to my constant dosing of Zicam to try to shorten this torture as much as possible). Nothing seems to clear out my nose. The stuffy nose is my worst symptom followed closely by sinus pressure so intense I can feel my heartbeat in my teeth.

Recommendations appreciated!

The area around my keyboard is littered with snotty tissues. I've been drinking coffee, sugar-free cocoa and green tea out of the same mug for three days and it looks like it. My RSS feed reader is completely bare and I feel like I've read everything the internet has to offer. I had a bologna sandwich for dinner tonight. Yep, I'm officially sick. It's been quite a while since I was sick, so I suppose I was "due" for it. But I've been taking my Zicam religiously as well as some various decongestants. I just hope this passes quickly.

Rich and I tried to do some Christmas shopping today but between my snotty nose and his sore shoulder we lacked a lot of motivation. I jotted down some idea on the iPhone to follow up on online and we each found a thing or two in Eddie Bauer (that store is our weakness with all its clothing in tall sizes). That was about all the excitement we could stand for one day.

Until we got home and it was puppy romping time (complete with sniffly commentary)!
