Just the throat-clearing kind. By Sunday evening it had progressed into something a bit more persistent. At dinner my sinuses announced their plans to disprove of everything. <\/p>\n<p>On Monday I popped a low fever and fought it off. I spent most of the day in bed, alternating between tired and weary. I ate, but those were my only adventures. My fever broke. My fever returned over night. <\/p>\n<p>By Tuesday the fever disappeared for good, and I&#8217;d been under two full days of sinus and cold pills, chased with Nyquil. Nyquil doesn&#8217;t hit me like it hits you. I take it during the day and wait for something to happen. Nothing ever does. But the medicine helps.<\/p>\n<p>The cough comes and goes. My ability to breathe comes and goes. I&#8217;d prefer almost any other mild illness over the inability to breathe, so this is never fun. <\/p>\n<p>By yesterday I was in a better place, no longer happy to have all of these many medications, but considering them a chore.

So this is all received very well. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec12\/dec44.jpg\" alt=\"window\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I spent the afternoon watching the sun move across the sky from this view.
