W00t! I can breathe again!

Like, through my nose! And my chest, I don't feel like I need to hack up my lungs in order to get rid of the phlegm! (I know you really aren't supposed to keep on clearing your throat, as it really makes phlegm production worse, but it's so hard to not do it.)

It feels so good to be somewhat less sick.
