My cold has reached the stage of dehydrating the entire liquid contents of my body out through my nose into a pile of yicky handkerchiefs. Some notes/observations:
1.) Well-washed cotton handkerchiefs are much kinder to one's nose than tissue paper, and theoretically more eco-friendly due to the wash/reuse factor.
2.) Also, festive tie-dyed patterns help conceal stains, although once the handkerchief is just plain sogged out, it's time to pull out fresh handkerchiefs.
3.) If you decide to steam your sinuses by plopping your face over a large bowl of freshly-boiled water underneath a towel "tent" until the steam runs out, turn on a nearby radio and add some dried herbs to the water (lavender is nice) to make the experience less boring. Make sure the water level will not reach the tip of your nose, because that will hurt. Your cats may decide to help enliven the process by coming over to poke at the weird towelly lump on the table that's making congested noises and occasionally twitching if pounced on.
