recovering

Sometimes I get a cold and I'm pretty much able to fight it off after two or three days. But occasionally there are nasty ones, which keep me out of action for longer. I first started getting the symptoms of this cold the Friday before last, and I'm still dealing with it. It hasn't been the worst, most intense cold I've ever had. But it's one which has lingered like the worst bad guest, sapping my energy, mucking up my thermostat making it difficult for me to sleep. I have a few more complaints about it, but that's just getting into the area of Too Much Information.

I hope it is totally gone by the time I fly to Hawaii in less than 2 weeks now. If this cold is still affecting my sinuses, I know that I'll have intense pain during the descent of the plan. Last time it was like somebody hammering nails into the back of my neck.

Anyway, I just wanted to write a little to explain what was going on and why I've been fairly quiet here lately.
