Pardon my absence for a bit

This might not be me, but it sure does look like I feel --- sicker than an ol' mutt! Woof!

I find myself a bit under the weather……again. 🙄

What happened was this; yesterday, I was jolted awake, feeling like I had inhaled the dust out of a vacuüm cleaner. You see, I, like my mother, have that drainage crap that goes down the back of your throat. Anyhow, I believe some of that got sucked into my windpipe in my sleep; and I woke up coughing my head off.

Anyhow, I got over that and today, I was outside with my cousin, while he was working on a couple of lawnmowers for my Dad. While I was out there, I started feeling a head cold a coming on; you know, the whole, “Oh man, here comes the swelled head feeling and the slight cough thing again” feeling. Sure enough, I now have a lovely cough and the big time drainage down the back of the throat deal. Bleh. 🙁

I took some Ny-Quill earlier and piled up in the bed and slept like a tank for a few hours and woke up feeling a little better; but not much. Most likely here around 11:30, I am going to take another nice big dose of Ny-Quill and hopefully sleep through the night — that should, and I say SHOULD knock it out of me.  Although, I am not going to promise anything at all.

I can say this; I am not usually the type of person who gets sick often at all; I usually get sick once a year, tops. But when I do, it’s the whole, “clear the room! The big guy is sick!” bit and I turn into an instant 12-year-old — for about 3 days. Although this one does not seem to be that bad, yet. Just seems to be more of annoyance that anything else. It just your a-typical sniffles, coughing and a good loud hearty, Kentucky-mountain-man sounding sneeze.

Ah, the joys of living in Michigan; where the weather changes so fast, it can give one whiplash.

Traffic it up on the blog. I opened the back-end here of the blog and saw the traffic was up a bit. I have not traced it down to see where it came from; but I am glad it is there! 😀
