— did all my car organization stuff yesterday. Well, not all. I still need to get an E-Z pass and a resident permit which I will do on Monday when the town clerk office opens.
— came home and puttered about. I’m still sick (yes, I know – it’s this cough that will not go away. Calling the doctor on Monday, this is ridiculous – I’ve been sick since New Mexico) – so I was feeling kind of tired even though I still had a lot to do. I’m not a napper, but at around 2 pm I thought – let me just lie down for a minute. I woke up at 7 pm. I mean, come ON. A lost day. I’ve just not been well. Nothing is touching this cough – no matter what I take.
— turned on the radio, getting ready for Game 6. But first I listened to Prairie Home Companion – just lay in bed, listening – I love Prairie Home Companion. It’s so soothing.
— Then the game. It would have been nice to SEE the game, but I still love listening to baseball games on the radio. It’s strictly old-school. Cheering and clapping by myself in my apartment. Onto game 7.
She –
I’m so sorry you feel rotten. Stu (& many people in our ‘hood) have had cough/respiratory stuff) recently. Bad ones. Stu took antibiotics but still has a lingering cough… anyway… my father in law sent me a little article that claims that if you put vics vaporub on the soles of your feet it will kill a cough. I know it sounds ridiculous, we have not tried it yet. I don’t know if you do it when you sleep w/socks or not. Just thought it sounded interesting… who knows. Hope you feel better soon. (remember our lost month in Chicago…. coughing and lying on pullout beds in my studio while I made you move the 300 lb tv every night??? you should have had me committed right then and there!)
Knock that damned bug on its ass, Sheila! Vaporub on your feet – mustard plasters – whatever it takes. GET WELL SOOOOOON!! :)
Get well immediately…
…and congratulations to the Sawx. (exeunt, mumble grumble redacted grumble)
