Verdict: Cold
The results are in and I have what I increasingly suspected as time went on, a cold. Vector for coronavirus in the household tested negative.
Whew.
Due to some unnecessary bureaucracy, it took until this morning to find out when we should have known yesterday afternoon, but I’ll stop being a drama queen about it and hit the neti pot a few more times to flush out this other character.
Aside: Why do neti pots have to be designed so I feel like I am shoving a plastic penis up my nose?

That’s far more erotic than the version we have here.

And that particular photo is relatively tame compared to the actual one I have. And now that I’ve seen it, it cannot be unseen — each flushing of the old sinuses making me feel as if I’m made a bargain with some kind of exotic male dancer in exchange for eliminating a bit of snot. From Neptune. Because: blue.

If I’m not too preoccupied with having nasty things done to my nose, I welcome you punishing me for my Cassandra moment and not warning anyone more vigorously.
