Day 72. I have a cold. 

5/4/2015

You know that time in your life when someone is talking about something and you interject "Oh, I never?" I had a moment like that last week while talking to a friend about the importance of me not catching a cold right now. I said those immortal words. "I never get a cold." My doctor's final words to me were to stay healthy. You cannot have surgery with a viral or bacterial infection.

Thankfully the surgery date has changed just enough to be sure I will be well by then. I am feeling miserable with a stuffed sinus, including a headache. My voice is hoarse and cracking and I have zero energy. I'm really hoping this remains a run of the mill cold and doesn't turn into anything more serious. It seems a odd time of year for people to be so sick but I know lots of people who are.

This day is a lazy one, it's been raining on and off all day. I've read, watched T.V and chatted with family. I haven't been inspired to write anything today, perhaps because my head feels so clogged so I will have to write something of substance for you tomorrow and let this be a pass.
