This Cold

     Colds don't get easier as you get older.  This one keeps sneaking up on me.  Yesterday, I felt a lot better in the morning, got some things done -- and despite good cough syrup, kept coughing more and more, and running out of air when I did.

     I ended up back in bed before noon and slept most of the day; Tam woke me for dinner and I helped a little with the trash (it gets picked up Friday morning) before going back to bed and sleeping heavily.

     This morning, I feel closer to normal -- and from where I've been, an ordinary day would be a big step up.

     Update:  Yeah, didn't happen.  Managed to take care of one scheduled commitment and then had to go lay down while I coughed up -- you don't want to know.
