I got up this morning feeling worse than I did yesterday when I got up. I think I am going to cough up a lung. I am so glad I never took up smoking. The coughing is annoying, to say the least.

I guess I shouldn't complain too much. At least my sinuses aren't hurting at an 8 on a scale of one to ten like they were a couple days ago. But the rest of me aches a bit, and I just feel a bit off. (Yeah, yeah, try to abstain from the goofy ribbing that I know I am deserving of.)

I thought sure I would feel better today but I didn't really sleep so great last night so I shouldn't be surprised. A couple of ibuprofen and a little grit and I will be okay.

Daughter has a soccer game at one today, but this big mouth won't be yelling as she usually does. My voice is still gone and I am trying to keep it at a whisper. I could use sign language but I am the only one in the house that would know what I was saying! Unless I use the universal signs, and that wouldn't be very nice. Even in my illness I know I am not permitted to be so bratty. I will sit quietly and cheer daughter on in my head.

After I finish this post I will go take a hot shower and see if that relieves some of this.

I think I am going to have to do more than home care to get rid of this junk. I don't want to wait until I have been tortured for a week or more before I get antibiotics from my doctor. I don't want to chance postponing my surgery as it has taken long enough to finally get here! I guess I may be visiting a clinic today. It is time to turn this around. I need to be able to cook and clean for awhile longer before it falls on someone else's shoulders!

Geez, Fredo, I hate to hear about your yucky weather. The pictures you took were so pretty and it is a shame you are hit with rain and wind again. I will try to send some sunshine and comfortable temps your way. I guess fall will make its entrance this coming week in terms of temperatures and weather. Can't be summer forever.

I hope you all have a good one. Keeping my fingers crossed here.
