It's hard to draw, or do much of anything, when all you want to do is sleep. Or rip out your right ear and most of your throat.
Don't you just love cold and flu season? Ugh...
Anyway, I'll try my best to complete this arc. Perhaps I'll just assume that Mary spends the fall and winter doing what I'll probably be doing. Drinking tea and being miserable.

@Brigid: Aww, man, still? Sinus problems suck!
Have you tried using a neti pot or saline solution?
@Journo: If this year goes like most, I'll be stuffed to some extent all winter.
A what pot? Haven't tried a saline solution. In my experience, sticking stuff up my nose isn't a good idea.
@Brigid: A neti pot. It's a small vessel used for nasal irrigation, filled with a saline solution:

Oh, I see. Nasal solution is generally what I do and it works quite well for me. Although I can understand if you don't like using nasal sprays or anything like that.
My sister hates the idea of doing that. She told me that it sounds like drowning to her XP
If you don't like that...another way to do it would be with a spoonful of menthol crystals, dissolved in hot water.
@Journo: Ah. Yeah, I'm with your sister on this. It *feels* like drowning. I don't know how people can do that, but if they can and it works than good for them. I'll stick with teas and maybe that menthol idea. ^^;
@Brigid: Well, I do admit it takes a bit of getting used to XP
Teas are good. The menthol crystals work really well too. You dissolve them in hot but not boiling water and put a towel over your head, then breathe in the vapour.
Some spicy food can help too, if you like that. Otherwise, a steaming cup of tea is heaven ^^
@Journo: Don't know if 'heaven' is the word I'd use. Then again, I tend to go 'nuclear option' with my teas. :P
@Brigid: Well, heaven for me mainly because I love tea ^^
Nuclear option?? What do you put in your tea, nitro-glycerine?? 0_0
@Journo: lol No. Just a whole lot of different teas steeped for about 15-30 minutes. It's... potent.
@Journo: Oh, I see. Does it help?
Why is it so potent?
@Journo: Usually. Depends on just how bad the blockage is.
And it's potent because it's steeped for so long.
@Brigid: Ohh, right, the infusion is strong. I see what you mean.
How's it working out for you so far?
And because she combines so many teas in one cup. She listed them for me once. I was...scared...
@Journo: Yeah. Some days are still better than others. I reeeeally don't like allergy season.
@Dan: ;P Hey, it works!
