It’s 4:19 am and I am waiting for urgent care to open. I’m coughing hard and constantly around the clock. I’ve been to urgent care twice in the last week. I hope this time they’ll know what to do. I’m utterly worn out physically and emotionally.

I took this photo three days ago. Today’s the first day I’ve been able to send them. They’re wonderful. I’d like to see them again in person.

My pinkeye is mostly gone, knock on wood. I also seem to getting better, but ever so slowly. The first two hours after getting up and the last two hours before sleeping are taken up by non-stop coughing. I also cough my self awake two or three times each night. I am ever so exhausted and depressed. I’ve had up to 200 colds in my lifetime and this is truly the most vicious one.
I haven’t felt like eating for days and my stomach is upset when I do. All I really want to do during the day is sleep, but then before too long I’ll cough myself awake again.
I’m sorry that I have posted anything funny or uplifting in a while. I was going to post a picture of flowers by my home, but that intiative is beyond me.
Maybe soon.

I was hoping to show a nice picture of follows, but no that’s too much effort for me. My pinkeye is getting better. Unfortunately, I’m coughing so much phlegm and mucous that I’m becoming dehydrated to the point that peeing is sometimes not possible; there’s not enough liquid in me for that. I’m trying to do better drinking more. I had a little scare driving home that made me think I might be getting cataracts. But I don’t think so. I don’t want to eat. I don’t want to do anything.
Please send kind thoughts and prayers,
Thank you,
I’ll be ever so grateful.

I’m getting somewhat better. I’m doing productive coughs, coughing up phlegm instead of nothing. But my gosh, how could so much phlegm has existed in just two lungs. I mave had added a fifth ailment, ear aches.
I took a friend to surgery today. She needed it more than I needed rest.
Ugh, I’ve spent maybe 10% with colds, but this is one of the worst.
Ugh.

Did you hear about the bear with the punchline at the end of infinity?
You never get to it
I’m still stick with my two viral infections, pink eye, and allergies. On the plus side, I’m finally losing the useless coughs; ones that go on and on and make the lungs and throats burn. Now, most of my coughs are useful ones; short and cleaning the infection from my lungs.
I have to, just have to go out into the world to help a friend. We will be taking all the precautions possible, so we should be all right.
But the driving will test my stamina. I might get home exhausted.
Kind thoughts, mojo, and prayers are much appreciated.
I celebrated my birthday as well as anyone who is exhausted, fighting a second viral infection, and pink eye. I did get nice, thoughtful gifts from the natives. I look forward to feeling better and interacting more. Oléé
