  1. CW: Snotty nose stuff

    Mind blown by the pharmacist today. Leaving this here for anyone who suffers from hay fever, allergies, sinus problems etc like I do.

    The pharmacist, not my regular one, explained how to use this nasal spray I've been prescribed. I rolled my eyes - who doesn't know how to use nasal spray right??

    "Right hand, left nostril; left hand, right nostril," he said. "You have to cross over to get the angle right. If you go same side, it just goes down your throat. You want it in the sinus." How was I never told this?!

  3. Maybe sickness? Maybe could be allergies...from I dunno what would it be...goose pollen or....moon dander from the eclipse.

    Sitting at work, I suddenly had a sniffle fit under my N95 mask. Had to pack it up, hand over and head home.

    Covid negative so far.

  4. I had the #sniffles this morning, but I probably won't by tomorrow; and I think I saw god.

    This is my unsolicited endorsement for #alkalol, which is like sending your best team outfitted with flamethrowers +10 into your sinuses to fuck shit up until morale improves.

    Yes yes, you can dilute it or get the less-intense nasal spray, sure. OR you can pour a few teaspoons into your neti pot and have a germ-eradicating 60-second drug trip, emerging clean and sobbing and victorious. Your choice :)

  5. when my nose bleeds I try not to move. frozen in space and time on the edge of a dream. silence and blue lights. capillary crime scene. failed Time Lord, I watch a red drop fall to my pillow in slow mo. not the good sheets! then I spring into action, innocence lost. shuffle to the bathroom, commune with toilet paper. I win the war but lose the battle. the good sheets no more.

    Darkness hung over me.

    At the intersection flashlights roved back and forth.

    I could hear their calls.
    Calls for me.

    I was so close now.

    Nineteen steps to salvation.

    But one sniffle was all it would take.

    One sniffle or misstep and the whole world would fall.

    A sense of déjà vu hit me as I ran for the break between flashlights.

    I counted as I ran. 5.

    How many times had I done this before? 12.

    Just two more steps and

    ***

    Darkness hung over me.

  8. She holds in sniffles
    At the stares, glares, and comments
    The public gauntlet

    Out only a year
    A lovely trans-femme woman
    Living her true self

    "You're beautiful, hon"
    He said, while just passing by
    "you keep your chin up".

    While looking around,
    She notices some others
    Giving a thumbs-up

    Now wiping her tears
    Gathers her armor up and
    fills her shopping cart

    A smile breaks through.

    The bear is confused. She has never seen a human who could talk to her, much less argue.
    'I am in no mood for this,' she #sniffles. She's been eating blackberries & blueberries & chokeberries & elderberries and evacuating her insides all over the mountain. 'I just want to lay down.'
    'Why don't you?' the man thinks.
    'I would like to. But I do not trust you.'
    'Why?'
    You humans are alike. You want us to trust you and then you kill us.'
    'I have no need to kill.'

  12. We sit together in the dawn light
    At the unfolding of the new normal
    And in the fold of a dressing gown
    You purr - tender and open
    My tentative hand strokes your fur
    You reach out kneading
    Opened mouthed you breath me in
    Understanding - knowing
    The world shrinks - there is only us.

  14. Sniffles

    These red eyes are not for you,
    These tears were not your making.
    Ignore my tissued sniffles too,
    The sobbing breaths I'm taking.
    The hay fever I never had,
    But always knew was waiting,
    Has come and it is just as bad,
    As your bitter leave taking.

    Thrust into her hand
    a white envelope
    bottle of bubbles
    the good stuff
    fragrant spring blooms.

    The smatter of cheers
    jolly good fellow
    well done you
    the silence followed
    mug tink spoon.

    Thinking back on days
    a decade gone
    rousing her crew
    the #sniffles hit
    wet eyes ensued.

    The staff room emptied
    pats on backs
    half full brews
    out the door
    she was through.

  16. She landed so softly
    On my velvet nose
    Wings of gossamer
    Floating gently
    And she looked at me
    Antennae moving
    Eyes dark gleaming
    I strained to smell
    This newcomer
    And her silken wings
    Brushed my nose
    A soft touch
    That set me sneezing
    So ferociously
    She flew away
    My majestic visitor
    And left me with
    Just
    Sniffles and a smile.
