One of Those Weeks.......

Oh, it started out promising enough.  I had planned to exercise at my workout facility on Monday, but I developed a nasal discharge of biblical proportions around mid morning.  Not good.  And totally unexpected.  Hmmm.  Well, maybe I better not go today and just stay calm and see what develops, I thought....

As the flow continued unabated, I realized I was probably getting a cold.  So, up to the pharmacy for some sudafed to dry me out.  I have discovered that when I develop a post nasal drip I can get sicker from the stuff going into my stomach, so it is important to stop it, if possible.

Then, as if I weren't miserable enough, my back decided to "go out".  These maladies occur in groupings of two and three at a time.  I can't explain it.  I've been healthy for a long time and now both of these thingies hit me at once. 

So by Tuesday, I can barely move because of that problem disc in my back and my head is throbbing because of the sudafed and my nose still has a slight run. 

Of course, Cindy is an angel and was hovering around me with her chicken noodle soup and trying to wait on me.  Problem is, when I feel that bad I don't want any attention at all.

Yesterday afternoon, I began feeling a little better.  Both my back and my nose were improving.  I hobbled out to our rear deck and looked up.  There it was---the most incredible cloud with sunburst I have ever seen.  I take it as a sign that I'm gonna be fine!
