how long must i blow my nose several times a day? this is getting rediculous. i GOT this cold over a week and a half ago (almost 2 weeks ago actually) and i've had only the nose-part for about a week. what's the deal!? i should buy stock in kleenex.
in the home-saga: the toilet seat is STILL being left up by my inconsiderate roommate, with whom i've had discussions about it, apparently to no avail. he promises to be "better" about it, and every time i come home when he's been in the house the toilet seat is up. so i got fed up yesterday. i wrote on a small piece of paper

PLEASE
CLOSE
ME

in permanent blue ink and taped it to the underside of the seat. i am really frustrated and disappointed that it must come to this, but what am i to do?
