We Interrupt This Scenic Beauty…

…with a whine

The height of “fall color” has arrived, and I’m really enjoying looking at it.

My view.

But oh my goodness, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired! How long can a cold last, anyway? How much mucous can one nasal cavity hold? I guess I am going to find out, because I feel just awful, still.

Head toward the light, Vlassic!

I had 5 straight hours of meetings this morning, many of which required speaking and acting intelligent. That was no easy task. And before the weather gets bad again, I want to ride Apache and Drew. But I feel like crap.

Thanks, trees.

I got to wondering if maybe this is more than a cold, so I took yet another COVID test, but it just mocked me.

That’s a negative

I had been thinking COVID because I am tired and if I exercise a lot, it’s hard to breathe. But hey, a cold will do that, too. Or maybe the flu tests missed some kind of flu and I have that. All I know is I’m almost finished with antibiotics, which means I’ll probably get a sinus infection next. (Yes, I take probiotics.)

That brush pile may be ugly, but it houses a lot of white-crowned sparrows!

Anyway, that’s my whine. I am tired of being sick, even if I’m a Bad Ass, according to my coworker who sent a mug just like hers. That was a kind gesture, wasn’t it? And yes, I look like I feel. Crappy.

One more meeting and I can collapse.

  1. Do you use a Neti pot? I find it helps me avoid sinus infections, when I am snuffly. Do have to be able to breathe some through both nostrils, though…and I am careful to sterilize water and pot!

  2. A friends teen daughter has a virus. Def not Covid, but one of the many viruses going around… Have faith, as Buddha says, everything is impermanent. Sorry It’s taking so long. xo
