Cap'n Tripps Revisited

Sick. That's what I am. The skin on my nose is chafed because of all the nose blowing I've been doing. Kleenex with lotion helps some, but not much.

I'm willing myself to feel better. I can't call in this weekend, otherwise that sucks up my PTO for my Mardi Gras trip.

If you need me, I will be in bed. Sleeping.

  1. Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. You have to be better - I need the post on the Mardi Gras trip!

    When my nose is really sore, I put some Vaseline on it before I go to bed (or when I know no one is going to see me with Vaseline on my nose). Just might stop the nostrils from singing when you blow.

  2. That sucks! Feel better soon.

    Hopefully you've got some good stuff to watch on tivo.

  3. I'm there with you... I've taken to rubbing nose with Blistex after every blow... but I still don't know what to do with the dry, hacky cough...

    1 part each:
    apricot nectar
    pink grapefruit juice
    rum
    Mix up a large batch, heat in mug till just below boiling ~ sip slowly...

    Be gentle with yourself ~
