I don't actually have a cold. I have seasonal allergies. WTF? I go 25 years without a problem and then I get a coughing fit at the beginning of the summer and this horrible congestion at the beginning of fall. Ugh!

I have all the classic symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, congestion, slight headache and semi-itchy eyes. I can now sympathize with potuspete who has had to deal with this for years.

In an attempt to steam out my nasal passages, I decided to soak my feet in really hot water and give myself a pedicure. Sadly, my reading material of choice was a GMAT study guide. Sigh. But the soak worked and I'm ready to go to bed feeling slightly better.
