The Story Before the Bathroom Reveal
Y'all, it has been a ride. Why are all of our renos involving trades always held up? Now I could understand the kitchen reno which began March 16, 2020 which is the week all hell broke loose. The kitchen wasn't finished until July that year and it really had nothing to do with the pandemic. There were quality control issues with two doors and if you think I was settling for lint sealed under clear coat and the same two holes caused by an industrial stapler on three remakes of a door, you're nuts. We actually redid our bathroom in 2022. Do you remember? Probably not because I hated it so much I never did a reveal! The deep ocean blue was a pain in my ample ass and for almost three years because it never stopped running. We had white chair railing and water from drying our hands or showers constantly dripped blue and would pool on top of the white railing sending me into fits on the daily. Because we'd gone through three different blue...
I do think Neti pot can help but there seems to be a fine line between using that and over-using it. Wish I had better methods of dealing with ickies though, so hopefully more people chime in.
ReplyDeleteI wish my nasal passages didn't protest so much to that thing! I think using 1/3 of the salt packet is the key though
DeleteI don't do much other than drink a lot of water, bone broth, and take Zicam melts every three hours and that does seem to help lessen the time of the severe aches and pains. What does seem to linger no matter what is that dang tickle in the throat with the bit of phlegm that just will not come up for a good two weeks! Wearing masks has been great during the winter when that wind is whipping and my face stays much warmer. I'm a nerd and color coordinate mine. LOL
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more irritating than that constant clearing of the throat and getting nothing "productive" out of it. We love wearing masks to keep our faces warm too! That reminds me I need to wash up our Snoopy Cmas masks!
DeleteChicken soup with matzo balls for kim chi ji gae (korean stew).
ReplyDeleteOoh, sounds good!
DeleteI'm battling a cold for the past week. Started off as a sore throat, which I assume was due to the mucous. Now it's just congestion and exhaustion, though I do feel like I'm starting a cough. I've been doing hot tea w/ honey, Mucinex and some NyQuil, but honestly, I don't feel like much works. For me, it's all about just riding it out and trying to stay as comfortable as possible. It sucks!
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm sorry you're not well! I hope you feel better soon! I have hard time drinking water anyway but especially when I'm sick. I will say it did help thin things out if you want to try to chug for a few days and see if it helps.
DeleteI love the throat coat licorice tea. I also take a Claritin d and mucinex d (green label). I must have eaten enough dirt as a child cause colds don't find me often
