Another day when my nose runs faster than I can…
Hitting the sack. The lurgy has found me. #sinus #sneezes #sniffles #mastodaoine
Sad Globe photo cutline: "Winged carpenter ant photographed in 2018. The ant is now likely deceased."

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.
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 :)
long black cat's cold is giving mine a run for its money today! 🐱💤 Sneezing and snuffling galore... We're a sniffly duo this morning! 😷🤧 #CatLife #Sniffles #FelineFriend 🖤
Current status: disease reservoir, equivalent to several Petri dishes left in a septic tank over a summer weekend.
Hoping for sponsorship by Strepsils, paracetamol and Olbas nasal spray.
May not survive to Monday. Wife sick of my sneezing, and has also now caught it.
Pray for us. #sniffles

Spare a thought for the poor presenter tonight. She went into the studio despite being wracked with the cold.

Who needs #pholcodine anyway? A #dram a day keeps the #sniffles away.

Car crash interview with Tory MP and deputy chair on BBC this morning. Ignoring the cocaine-like sniffles, Anderson gets defensive and turns to bullying the presenter when questioned about his lies during the 2019 election.
Start at 7:30 to hear it

"What's gotten into you, Stokes? It's only the #sniffles."
"Normally, sir, it would be a minor issue, and we do have the appropriate medication. Unfortunately, we do not have time for it to achieve efficacy."
"Then I'll bring a hanky. Problem solved."
"Sir, the dossier clearly states the Scrux find sniffing highly offensive."
"They'll have to deal with it."
"That's what the Dramhots' delegation thought. I believe that interplanetary war lasted over one hundred years."
I hear sniffles
So ask you “are you sick or sad?”
You look at me with deep deep eyes
And smile.
This is what we do
We look out for each other
And we always will
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.

#Sniffles,
the hedgehog, found it incomprehensible that someone could live for 25567 days and still be a child at heart.
He felt himself picked up like a ball, a finger found its way past his tightly clenched together legs and tickled its tummy, then he was gently put back down.
He gave a couple of grunts and went on his merry way.
Sometimes I sniffles, and sometimes I snuffles,
Sometimes I looks at my feets and they shuffles.
I huffles and puffles and hiffles and piffles,
Until I end up with the serious jiffles.
It’s just the #sniffles
Don’t open me up
Might just need some tea
Something warm in a cup
Won’t need a doctor
No emergency room visit
Probably need a nap
With a bubble bath before it
Might not be sick
You hypochondriac freak
Could be allergic to you
Everything is not bleak

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.
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.
