1. I hope you feel better, 2. Yay, productive! I feel you on the “I got a thing done! Woo!” feeling when you are just NOT doing ok and that one thing makes you feel so accomplished. So enjoy the thing you did, ’cause it got done!
The best way is to stand in the hot water until there’s no more hot water 🙂 If you’re going to do it, do it all the way. The steam does help loosen things up, especially if your water is as chlorinated as ours has been lately, it’s like snorting drano, really unclogs the pipes.
Make tea and steep the steam into your sinuses, make sure not to drip! Also, menthol is great for unstuffing a nose! Expectorant is what you seek. Nothing that inhibits the nasal drip since you want it out, not stuck in.
When I was little, we lived in several old Victorian mansions, the last one had been split up into townhouses and we had the middle one, some years later I found out it had been split up into five apartments !! We never thought anything of having huge living rooms with pocket doors, a ‘servant’s passage’, a plate room/pantry off the formal dining room and more bedrooms than there were kids. There are lots of those old houses in this town, pity they’ve almost all been converted into little apartments now, but you could never afford to heat one at today’s prices unless you were either extremely wealthy or it was the family home passed down through the generations (generations of wealthy people) 🙁
It’s not forty, it’s ‘twenty twice’ or like my mother said when she hit 65 and someone met us in the store and asked her age “I’m 18…Celcius” I laughed so hard I dropped the blouse I was looking at, and then I used it myself later on 🙁
I don’t care much for Brie but we used to get small wheels of different types of gouda from a cheesemaker a couple of hours away that were sooo good, especially if you could let them age for a year before cracking them open. My favourite was the nettle type…and the blue cheese came in blue wax ‘dragon eggs’ *sigh* it looks like we’re going to have to go on a road trip once it warms up.

They go nuts for the unscented ones too. Ours rolls around with it in his arms like he found a catnip toy.

If standing under the water for twenty minutes didn’t help, a shower is probably not what you need.

It’s hard on the hair though, especially with the winter dryness and flu frizz thrown in, conditioner sort of helps…a little…some.

My Dad had some non-Covidy ick too. Took him a few days to get back together. Hoping you recover quickly too. ^_^

I agree with your spawn! A whole room for Squishmallows is essential!

oh to be a child and not realize the amount of work it takes to keep up with even a modest home.

You have to let it cool just enough so everything doesn’t slide off when you pick the slice up, but no more !!

I laughed extra hard as I also binged on a wheel of triple cream Bree yesterday. Because I’m an adult and I do what I want.
