love/hate relationship

I have a love/hate relationship with the neti pot. Oh you know what it is: that little genie's lamp looking thing you use to clean out your sinuses. It's practical in concept, painful in execution. At least when I use it. I don't know, I guess I could be using it wrong but I don't think so. I use the right temperature water and only use sea salt. But once that water hits right were it needs to: OWWWWWWW. Crap, that hurts.

But then I feel so much better. So much less sick. So much less full of phlegm. Like I can breathe again without people hearing me wheeze from 50 feet away.

I am SO needing to use the neti pot right now and SO dreading it. Allergies suck.
