Recovering
After nearly two weeks of feeling like crap, I'm finally starting to feel better. Sort of. The congestion is mostly gone and I have a bit more energy. All that is thanks to the antibiotics, which (of course) take their own toll on my digestive system. Thanks to plenty of cranberry juice over the last two weeks, I have no other unpleasant side-effects to report. Now the worst thing I have to overcome is the unrelenting gray of the Pacific Northwest winter. The wind is whipping around again and rain drives against the windows. I'd like to take a long trip to someplace warm and sunny. It's taking quite a bit of restraint to keep myself from curling up for a nap. I understand so well why bears hibernate.
