Well, I'm awake. I have a huge mug-o-caffeine to slurp and I am so doing.

When I got up there was a nice formal letter for me from the Museum I've been talking to. It was a polite 'Thanks, but no thanks'. Still, I'm (strangely) not discouraged. The fact that I sent 1 letter and got a nibble of interest (even if they eventually declined) tells me my approach isn't insane. Now I just need to find a few dozen other Museums to make the same pitch to. We'll see if any of THEM take the bait.

Good up! You feeling better?

Re:

Sorta. Sinuses are still congested and I have a very limited appetite. Yesterday all I ate was a bowl of bread pudding and some bread. The day before all I had was a bowl of soup.

Still, I'm not getting dizzy and I don't seem to have any aches and pains. Its the kinda illness where I wanna sit down and not move much, so I've been getting lots done on the computer.

Are you taking decongestants? I find Dristan helps a lot.

Re:

Dristan is way too harsh on my Sinuses. I have an emergency supply, but I prefer to use Benzedrex inhalers. They work wonders for me, and lately taxlady has been able to find me a steady supply. (They're only sold in the States.)

Benzedrex. I don't know that one. I've been using Flonase, but that's a prescription-only.

Have you considered that perhaps you're congested due to dry air? That happens to me, and so I carry a spray bottle of sterile saline meant just for the purpose of moisturizing.

Re:

No, its not the air. I have chronic rhinitis. I've had it my whole life. I've tried lots of stuff, including Flonase, and none of it worked for me as well as Benzedrex does.
