A few days with antibiotics plus lots of sleep equals me feeling way better.  I still have a rather full head and the drugs kill my appetite but the coughing has abated and I'm sleeping the whole night so antibiotics for the win ( Read more... )

Still no voice today.  Maybe a bit more croak than yesterday but still can't talk.  When I try it makes me giggle.  Giggles with no audio.  It is like living my own silent movie, man.

Vacation Blogging is Back!

We had no plans for Thursday, which after spending two days in Venice was probably a good idea.  We ended up driving around the area with C- and visiting some of the little hamlets near Santa Lucia.  First we went up to Mezzomonte, a small village half way up the mountain, thus the name which means half mountain.  There ( Read more... )

Yes!  Vacation Recap Blogging is back!

Our second day in Venice dawned bright and sunny.  Really, we had the most amazing weather the entire week.  It was great.  After breakfast and checking out of the Don Orione the three of us (Dad, C- and I) headed back to Piazza San Marco.  Since Dad and I missed the Basilica the previous evening we decided ( Read more... )
