I'll copy stuff over to IJ once Squeaky gets back on his feet.

Not even one in the afternoon and it's already been an interesting day. In the bad way.

Woke up this morning, got into the shower, and found myself abruptly deprived of oxygen. I could still breath, but it was labored and I wondered if someone had secretly fed me shrimp during the night (I'm allergic to it, if you didn't know already). I spent a few minutes just cowering wet, naked, and whimpering on the bathroom floor, covered only by a towel and praying that I recovered before my roomie walked in and asked wtf I was doing.

Fortunately my 9am class canceled due to teacher infirmity, so I didn't have to email her and say that walking fast in cold air would be a near impossibility for my phlegm-filled lungs, and things seemed to clear up before I had to go to breakfast. Breathing's still a bit labored but I'm mostly comfortable now.

Triad mindshare is one thing, but I really hope I'm not getting Boots' cold.

Also, we have some very good news from Squeaky on the Insanejournal front, which seems to ever so slowly be pulling itself back together. Now that I have the orignal databases in my hands I can confirm that NO DATA HAS BEEN LOST!

*flails! Flails flailingly!*

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Flails at IJ or flails at Seiberlungs?

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

At Seiberlungs! This is not good at all.

I'm mostly just grumbling at IJ.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Well, as seen in my edit it's making a definite comeback.

No, it's not good. Any idea on substances to stop it? I'm making a grocery run later today for Passover food and celebratory sparkling grape juice.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness. *whews*

Dammit, Jim, I'm a moogle, not a doctor! ;P

[ravynstoneabbey]

*growls @ Sieberlungs* Not good!

Um Mucinex is good. I would say some moonshine and honey but it may be a bit hard to obtain the moonshine.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Yeah, especially given the whole age limit thing.

Caffeine will help open blocked airways, according to my allergist, so keep a stash of dark chocolate and Dew handy. Also, if you're at all stuffy, Benedryl really helps clear up excess mucus. Aside from that, talk to an allergist about getting an emergency inhaler.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Chocolate and coffee. I approve of this treatment. ^_^

[lunatron.livejournal.com]

It's pollen season, so if you do have some minor plant allergies, they're more likely to act up now. You might also want to look into Claritin, which is over the counter, and some sort of nasal spray.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

My allergies aren't normally that level of bad, and it seems to have mostly cleared up now--although for some reason the shower makes the gook go straight to my lungs and have a clog party.

[lunatron.livejournal.com]

A warm shower can loosen up your mucus, which is probably why you're getting clogs. >_

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that'd do it. I'll just have to take cooler showers for the next couple of days.

...Want to know what makes it worse? Appparently I also have tonsilitis.

But I also have curry, penecillin and a week off work, so it's all good. ^_^ I just scare people when I cough.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

No offense, but I'm not quite sure who you are.

...Eheh. Oops, sorry - is a 'Boots. *hugs!* Who else would have a cold

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Oh, is a Boots!

...oh, fuck. But then again, a week off from Jagex must be a great consolation.

[apprentice-lurk.livejournal.com]

Dude, tonsilitis is treatable. A week off from Jagex? That is a treat to be savoured ^_^

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

*hands over a slurpee, then* Really? I thought they had to go in and take the tonsils out and then give you ice cream.

[knave-iespyk.livejournal.com]

Yipes. Hope you feel better soon.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

I've taken Luna's advice and procured chocolate, and walking about seems to have helped the situation. So I think I'm good.
