Susie and I are suffering from some horrid sickness.  It struck Sunday morning, and though we spent half the weekend in bed, with one short trip out to buy a gallon of OJ, we’re just as sick today.

I feel like I’m about 20% phlegm, and Susie’s reporting more like 33%.

In an odd and unfortunate synchronicity, our next door neighbour decided today would be the perfect day to chain saw branches of his tree, one by one.  So it’s not like I can get much sleep, which is why I’m blogging.

Owning a business together, it’s especially tough to get sick together.  And Susie’s usually so good at taking care of me when I’m knocked flat, that I kinda don’t know how to deal with having to take care of myself.

Rachael told me to try “Cold FX” and “Extreme C” or something like that; I’m sure it’ll help a bunch.

Overheard

“Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches, no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and wonderfully diversified human race.”

...who said it?

“Music is all about timing”

...who said it?

“I do something wrong: accident. You do something wrong: character flaw.”

...who said it?

“If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride”

...who said it?

“Finding oneself was a misnomer; a self is not found but made.”

...who said it?

I had a cold/sinus thing leading up to NV. It wasn't the worst thing in the word, but the pressure was a bit to deal with. Ibuprofin for the pressure, zinc helps to fight it. Everyone has their remedy.

Esther C. The zinc is good for sore throats.

Rachael is right about Cold-fX - that stuff is like gold.

That and some OJ, and you should be good to go.

Let us know how you are doing!
