I break out the Puffs Plus if I have any heavy duty stuff going on.

But I started cutting up old tshirts to use (at home) when I'm only having a drippy nose.

At times the old house we live in can be quite chilly and apparently nose decided it had enough of that.

I was using WAY too many tissues.

The tee "hankies" are so soft and not too icky. And I'm also a klutz who spill things a lot, so I've cut down on paper towel usage as well lol

Connie - I'm with you when it comes to light usage but this virus has turned me into a walking mucus factory ;-)

That was incredibly beautiful music! Thank you for sharing…. I’m curious about the drummer though (I was a percussionist in high school/college). Does he accompany you on some music?

Yes - he played on several tunes on that concert but I also did a bunch of solo stuff he had to sit through patiently 😊. Here is a tune he played on: https://youtu.be/RCoAe8j2Ahk

You mentioned old timey hankies - I remember they were so rough & I was reninded how happy to have figured out soft ones lol

I should also have mentioned that I can relate to being in the land of gunk - my Mom jokes that they used to hold me up by my toe and let me drain when I was a baby....

I've had sinus issues since forever.

I suppose I carried hankies when I was a kid.

I had a bit of a respite during my high school years for whatever reason

I know I had hankies on me when I was in college.

I swear - I think OLD plaster walls mess with me.

College was VERY snotty most of the time I was living on campus and if I don't Swiffer the walls regularly, our house gets pretty snotty.

I'm in awe of the volume of gunk my body produces at times - it's practically never ending lol.

Now my sinuses have gone to the opposite extreme. I still get headaches and even had a sinus infection once, but my sinuses are DRY.

I saw an ENT - he said nothing was wrong, but I glared him into doing a CT scan - turns out they were sooo inflamed he wanted to do surgery.

I stopped taking Benadryl (to help with falling asleep) and swapped to a saline nose spray.

I don't think surgery will be necessary lol

I hope you exit the land of gunk soon!
