Unfortunately, I am averse to both peppermint and cinnamon; maybe I will go to the Vietnamese place this weekend and order their chicken noodle bowl with lots of lemongrass and pepper, though! Thanks, both of you.

I always take hot showers unless it is over 80 degrees outside so I don't think my sinuses tell the difference between "shower" and "hot shower meant to clear my head."

Exercising the other day helped a good bit, though.
