Another day when my nose runs faster than I can…

Sad Globe photo cutline: "Winged carpenter ant photographed in 2018. The ant is now likely deceased."

Mind blown by the pharmacist today. Leaving this here for anyone who suffers from hay fever, allergies, sinus problems etc like I do.

The pharmacist, not my regular one, explained how to use this nasal spray I've been prescribed. I rolled my eyes - who doesn't know how to use nasal spray right??

"Right hand, left nostril; left hand, right nostril," he said. "You have to cross over to get the angle right. If you go same side, it just goes down your throat. You want it in the sinus." How was I never told this?!

Maybe sickness? Maybe could be allergies...from I dunno what would it be...goose pollen or....moon dander from the eclipse.

Sitting at work, I suddenly had a sniffle fit under my N95 mask. Had to pack it up, hand over and head home.

Covid negative so far.

I had the #sniffles this morning, but I probably won't by tomorrow; and I think I saw god.

This is my unsolicited endorsement for #alkalol, which is like sending your best team outfitted with flamethrowers +10 into your sinuses to fuck shit up until morale improves.

Yes yes, you can dilute it or get the less-intense nasal spray, sure. OR you can pour a few teaspoons into your neti pot and have a germ-eradicating 60-second drug trip, emerging clean and sobbing and victorious. Your choice :)

Current status: disease reservoir, equivalent to several Petri dishes left in a septic tank over a summer weekend.
Hoping for sponsorship by Strepsils, paracetamol and Olbas nasal spray.
May not survive to Monday. Wife sick of my sneezing, and has also now caught it.

Pray for us. #sniffles

Who needs #pholcodine anyway? A #dram a day keeps the #sniffles away.
