We had thundersnow last night, not that anything stuck to the ground. Today is supposed to be just above freezing and then we are supposed to warm up over the next few days.

Lee - feel better! Do you have any peppermint tea. I always forget how helpful that can be when I'm clogged up.

I know they do at work. I will try that.

I don't understand how one body can produce so much snot.

It's a mystery. Like one of those magical pouches that always is full of gold, except gross.

Ah ha ha ha ha!

It was 52 when I woke up, with a projected high of 74. Fall is officially here. Note: our old house has no central heating and no insulation because that's how they built crappy houses back in the 1940s, so when it's 52 outside it's 52 inside as well.

Allow me to introduce Memphis' top gay bar, The Pumping station.

And for a bit of cognitive dissonance, here is The Pump Station. If you mention pump station to me, my mind goes right to nursing bras, not gay bars.

I don't understand how one body can produce so much snot.

I always say that people with colds should lose weight, because if the massive amounts of snot aren't ALWAYS there, then your body is making the snot from *something* and then eliminating it through the magic of Kleenex, so you should be losing weight.

Except (1) that's probably not logical and/or (2) the amount of snot is basically negligible compared to the size of the human body, so -- no weight loss.

This video improved my mood. Jet This! JET ENGINE vs TICKLE ME ELMO

Teppy, I think your theory should be right. Even if it's not. It has logic!

I am still in bed. I went to sleep about 9:45. And when my alarm went off at 7, I hit snooze. And then changed it. And then changed it again. And hit snooze a couple more times. And still don't wanna get up. I blame being sick.

I turned on the heater in my bathroom this morning.

I've been alternating between turning on the heat and running fans in the window for the last month. It's been a gorgeous autumn, but hella confusing on how to maintain the house or what to wear.

pseudoephedrine

The other question here is if it's really pseudoephedrine or the one they put in most of the decongestants these days, pseudoephedrine being a prime component in crystal meth. You usually have to jump through some hoops to get the real thing these days. Not sure how doubling up on the fake pseudo (HA!) is in terms of good or bad though.

They recently concluded that the fake stuff does literally nothing for congestion.

so when it's 52 outside it's 52 inside as well.

That amuses me, because 52 is roughly what I have the furnace set to. We're already seeing lows in the 30s and 20s, so 52 is a perfectly cromulent temperature.
