I performed a nasal rinse this morning. It’s kinda like a turbo-charge netty pot. Now I feel like I got hit by a huge wave down at the Jersey shore. It was supposed to help, maybe it did, maybe I am just being impatient.
I enjoyed exercising last night. I [...]

Did I mention that I joined the gym? I know what you are thinking. And you are right, I am a displaced worker and I should be saving all my excess funds for mortgage and food. But I figure the chances of me getting hired again grow exponentially the tighter my little [...]

I just made myself a hot toddy. It’s cold and snow is on the ground. I sound like a dying cow. I figure a hot toddy will make me feel better. This is how I made it:
Hot Toddy
Make a cup of black/orange pekoe tea
Pour in a tablespoon or 2 or 3 [...]

I sound like Bea Arthur. I feel meh. What is happening to me? I never get sick! And now it seems all I have been is sick. So strange.
