Shallow cough, constant cough...all night long. Had no cough medicine in the house. By 3 AM of no sleep, and nearly constant coughing...I decided I had to do something. The liquor rack held wine, mostly old sweet stuff we got years ago by mistake---I detest sweet...

I can report, yes, the guaifenesin makes a difference. I left it off yesterday in the theory it might be contributing to the sinus congestion: wrong. I coughed. A lot. And by evening I was coughing really badly every few minutes (postnasal drip was bad) ---and finally...

I'm anxious for it to be better. But it's just going to run its course. Nyquil, Dayquil, and Mucinex. I'm getting real tired of that cocktail. Last night we just decided what-the-heck and ordered pizza, which we also had for breakfast. A thin-crust small pizza isn't...

There is trivalent and quadrivalent vaccine. Most people get trivalent vaccine. This year it's primarily protecting against a California virus that looks a lot like H1N1, the truly nasty stuff, and a couple of others that aren't much fun either. The one-in-four it's...

We went for a wedding of a couple of friends at the house of another friend from back-when, had a good evening, thank you, GPS! and went with 3 friends to the Seattle Aquarium the next day---I was really flagging at the end of that outing. And at the end of one more...

Woke up with the sunlight, on this 'fall-back' day---for those of you overseas, we say 'spring-forward, fall-back' to remember which direction to reset the clocks for daylight savings time... And though it's starting to be slush now, there were fat pretty flakes...

I almost opted for the shingles shot as well---had the world's worst case of chicken pox as a child---lost a week out of my life, semi-conscious; and the druggist at Safeway said it was ok, no contraindications; but I always read the literature: and it...

Jane's in having a hot soaky bath. I went off today at 10 am to go to Costco to get more pillows, the most wonderful pillows ever spawned. I let Jane borrow mine last night, and she agrees with me: best thing since sheep dip. So that was job one, quick before they...
