Still sick

I took a sudafed at 3:45. I hope it wears off by bedtime, because I'm feeling wired. It did help my sinus pressure, but boy does it mess with my brain. Yech.

It's all that bitter Canadian wind! You need some gentle tropical Florida breezes......

Heh.

Tampa weather forecast: thunderstorms through the weekend.

KW weather: sun, through the weekend.

Bitter? ;-)

"Rain" here doesn't mean the same thing, I have found out:

When the air is so warm/humid, it is quite unsettled. So you can get downpours, but they are very brief, and very isolated. For example: I once had it happen, shortly after I moved here, that the rain was coming down as a solid sheet. I was stopped at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood. The sun was shining on the other side of the street. Freaky!

When they say "40% chance of showers" or something, that usually means that approximately 40% of people might experience some brief shower at some point. And then the sun comes back out. The rest of the people have dry/sunny conditions.

That's quite funny. And tough to plan for, I imagine. Remember your umbrella!..

It is true that Florida has the most amazing little biomes, which we saw in the Everglades. A few miles away, the plant/animal life was totally different. Guess this could be one of the contributing factors, if some areas are prone to more wind/less tropical conditions!

Yep - I've got a cold and some annoying congestion too - Took a Sudafed too late last night.. did *not* sleep well at all. Took another in the morning when I got to work and I was definitely *not* sharp today.

My most recent was at around 5pm.. hoping it won't do the same tonight.

Bleh.

...[livejournal.com profile] sulle_stelle & I have had previous conversations about Tylenol Sinus, which he swears by, but I can't seem to find in local drug-stores...

The sudafed is finally wearing off, after 6 hours, which is darn good since I can't sleep with those jitters!
