Look! You Got Monkeys Yesterday. Today You Get Snot.
Updated: I woke up today and thought, "Look! You Got Ejaculate Yesterday, Today You Got Snot." Sorry for the delay, but I'm snot-stupid.
My head is full of snot. So full that I have taken to putting a towel on the bed and laying the most snot-filled nostril on it and just letting my nose drain directly on to the towel. This as I breathe through my gaping mouth and moan as I exhale. *inhale* "ooOOOooooaaaannnnnhh." *inhale* "uuuuUUUUnnnnnhhhhhhh." *inhale*
Am I the only one who does this: I find great comfort in making the inside of my bottom lip as dry as possible when I've been mouth-breathing for a while.
My only real comfort is work. I have been doing all the brainless work-projects on my plate today. And, I've been watching the election intently. Barack congratulated Hillary on winning Indiana, Hillary was gracious about winning Indiana, and the MSNBC people are still insisting it's too close to call. I think this might make sense if it could get past all the snot.
It won't (make sense, that is). But that's a nice thought. I'm sorry you're snotty.

Ewwwwwww snot. I don't mind baby snot too much but I sure hate adult snot, and especially old people snot.
Nurses: We know a lot about snot.
Sorry you are sickly, get well soon.

Yeah, that was weird. I was listening to the BBC who was saying Hillary had won IN, and Ace who was following on the internet came by afterwards to tell me they didn't know yet.
I don't purposely dry my lip out, but on a windy day I'll stick my tongue out and let it dry out because it feels all weird when you pull it back in.

Shania - You are entirely right, I still don't know who won.
Zayrina - Well, of course my snot is a delicate flower-scented mist. But other people's snot, yeah.
TasterSpoon - Oh, like when you can get your lip to stick on your teeth because it's dried out? I love that.

I do the drainage thing but the snot only goes from one nostril to the other, it never really drains out. But for those few blessed moments when it's between sinuses, I can breathe. I love that.
Try a neti pot, it might help.
