Mental Health Day
I had the day off from work today, and so I took the entire day to relax. It was rather nice, my mother and I had a nice chat and it was a good day as far as 'good days' go. Nothing bad happened, for once, knock on wood, so that was a plus. The only detriment is that I am still coughing up my lungs and the various fluid in my lungs. It's both nasty ( Read more... )
