Tonight's insomnia........

[poltr1]

Every winter, I seem to develop a cold that doesn't go away. I have both a stuffy and runny nose at the same time, post-nasal drip, and a sore throat. I don't know if it's a cold or my indoor allergies. I'd rather not see the doctor for anything so minor. Besides, all he would do is prescribe more more drugs. As if I'm not on enough meds already.

Try to keep the place humidified - I find it makes a huge difference, more than you'd think. A humidifier you can run at night is good, but when you're awake you can simply keep a big pot of water boiling on the stove. (Make VERY sure to keep aware of the water level, though - don't let it boil dry!)

I used to have a cool mist humidifier in my room, but R tok it when she moved out. I think I have a nother one stashed away in a closet someplace.

I'd rather not try the pot of boiling water method. I have a teakettle with no whistle, and I let it boil dry more times than I care to admit.
