Damn my respiratory system!

[gridlore]

After missing last night's shift due to chronic hiccups (close to 20 straight hours, with only short breaks.. my throat was burn raw and I eventually threw up because of the reflexive actions.) I awoke this morning with a cold. Sniffily, stuffed up.

I bloody hate winter.

kightp strongly recommends Zicam (http://www.zicam.com/) (zinc in an inert gel -- you spread it inside your nose and it makes it more difficult for the rhinovirus to settle in) to reduce severity and duration of colds. I haven't tried it, but she swears by it.

Yes, with the constant snow accumulation and -30 windchill.

Brr!

Well, we're not that bad.. but waves of cold Pacific air bringing alternate rain and dips in humidity don't help..

They're predicting 40 centimetres of snow today. Wanna trade? ;)

In seriousness, though, I hope the respiratory issues don't get you down. Or the hiccups, for that matter.

And, hey! Survivor All-Star, starting Sunday!
