[Mystake]

Basically, I need to humidify my house up.

According to the doctor, my lips being dry = why I'm sick.

It was a bit of a BS diagnosis (I went in for a head cold, nausea, head ache and other symptoms). Apparently my dry lips = dry lungs = virus playground.

So, within about a minute (and with him walking out the door), he told me to get a humidifier and to not bother taking cold meds. I said I didn't have one so he told me to turn off my house' heat and open a window. I said that was out of the question; I have roommates. He told me to get a sleeping bag and go sleep on the back porch.

for now I've placed half a dozen cups of water around the room and a couple of wet shirt hanging to dry.

Anyone got any other ideas? I'd boil water but I need something that'll last a while. My house' heating turns on frequently and so I think the air gets cycled rather quickly.
