Damn that sniffle. It's the only thing left.

I'm gonna declare a green, anyway!

Snotwatch Threat Level: GREEN

I think we're almost done. My blocked nose has reduced to the status of sniffle. My sore throat is pretty much recovered. I only have to shake this mild headache (which may be TV related, rather than a cold symptom) and I can sign off on a GREEN status and put all of this snotwatch malarkey behind us.

In the meantime though:

I thought I was doing much better yesterday, but when I woke up this morning my nose was completely stuffed up. All I could smell was snot, which smells a bit like musty carpets.

Fortunately I was able to alleviate this particular symptom with chemicals, which only left the fatigue, which I treated with a strong dose of sofa.

I think I'm on the mend.

It's funny how much you take breathing through your nose for granted. It's only when you can't, that you miss it.

The biggest problem with breathing through your mouth all night is the ncredibly sore throat you have the following morning. Gah.

Ran out of pills. Had to go out to get more. That wasn't fun. I did find some Olbas oil at in an ice cream tub on top of the fridge this afternoon, though. Sweet.

I fell asleep on the sofa for about three hours this afternoon. That was pretty sweet, too!

I don't think the drugs are working any more.  Also, it seems that one of the less well publicised symptoms of a heavy cold is an utter lack of tea from your girlfriend.

I've created so much mucus today that every time I blow my nose, the tissue basically liquefies.
I've done this to about 15 tissues so far today.

Got home feeling awful. Had some hot ribena and some drugs and am now ready to go out and pick up a blisteringly hot curry. Those tubes will be cleared, dammit!

Snotwatch Threat Level: RED.

I'm standing on a station platform on a chilly November morning. I know it's chilly cos I can see my breath. So why am I hot and sweaty?

Oh well, apart from that, the drugs are working fine, so I'll just pretend it's summer. Or maybe Africa.

Snotwatch Threat Level: AMBER.

Drugs wore off. Need more.

There is thick yellow mucus leaking from my nose.

Snotwatch Threat Level: RED.

Drugs are brilliant.

Still plenty of snot here. And here.  And a bit here, too.  Very sore throat.  I've been suffering from a general malaise all evening.  Everything is too much effort.  Also, I am too hot.  No, wait, I'm too cold. No, I'm hot.  Cold.  Hot.  Cold.  Hot.

Snotwatch Thread Level: STILL RED!

Spent most of last night with sinuses full of snot. Don't you just love it when you turn on your side and all of the fluid drains out of be side into the other? And then you roll over and do it all again!

Well, I'm all drugged up and ready for the next envelope!

Snotwatch Threat Level: RED

I thought it had gone away, but I've spent most of the day with a throbbing headache and painful sinuses. Lots of snot, too!

Fortunately I'm a big strong manly man and did not let my obvious swine flu stop me having am awesome day.

Just destroyed a tissue with my snot. Sneezed four consecutive times. One of my eyeballs nearly fell out.

Very sore throat.

Nose unblocked. Itchy eye.

Snotwatch Threat Level: Still AMBER.

Left nostril about 60% blocked. Annoying whistle in right, but otherwise clear. No more blood.

Ew. I just blew my nose so hard it bled.

Snotwatch Threat Level: RED!

Not so snotty today although I do have some inflammation of the sinuses which is making breathing through my nose annoyingly tricky.

Slight headache and mild site throat, but I have it under control.
