Nothing better than a summer cold… or not

July 25, 2016

Just a quick one today.

Summer colds truly suck.

Thankfully, it was planned for my vacation to go through today. Originally, I wa going to come home today, instead going straight through yesterday. It’s a good thing, too. Last night I took a shot of NYQUIL and slept well all night.

Today is the cough day, it seems.

That’s usually a good sign. Hopefully, this is like normal and I’ll be on the mend tomorrow. I’m on vacation all next week (another baseball trip) and really don’t want to be feeling like crap the whole time.

I had been pretty solid with getting sick this year. I made it through the winter pretty healthy. I’m firmly convinced this was brought on by the air conditioner at the first hotel I stayed in on this past trip.

The AC wasn’t fully controllable in that I couldn’t select a temperature and it was basically “cold or hot.” So I put it as low as possible. The issue was it ran all night and the room was tiny — so everything was pretty compact and close to one another.

It also probably didn’t help that I was in an area where it was super hot and humid the whole time, thus needing air conditioning.

Thankfully, I made it through the trip. But today, not so good. I am working the next several days, so hopefully I can make it through and be healthy for this upcoming trip, which will, again, have some hot and humid weather.

But colds during the summer? Totally suck.

Cough, cough, sniffle, sniffle

September 14, 2015

What is it with this time of the year?

Yeah, I know, the seasons are changing. But as I write this at the end of a dreary weekend, it annoys me even more as I know by the time you read this, I’ll be in the office and probably not feeling all that great. And I know I’ve had this happen to me during this time of year in the past.

It started early Friday afternoon when I had a tickle in my throat. I knew that wasn’t a good sign. Later in the day, swallowing slightly hurt. I went to a baseball game and things seemingly were a tad better. That night, a little bit with the swallowing again, but water helped.

coughcough

I slept pretty well Saturday, though I didn’t get many hours as I was playing softball in the morning. It was a dreary day. By the time we were done, it was drizzling some. By the time I headed home, I felt decent but it was still lingering.

Saturday into Sunday – I slept well. I figured that would help, but it seems like it’s morphed into a small chest/head cold. Just what I don’t feel like dealing with. I’ve had a few coughs and the sniffles. I’m sure Monday will be a day of a stuffy head, so we’ll see how this whole thing grows or goes away.

It’s supposed to be rather dreary on Monday, so it’ll be a good day to jump into a bunch of things at work and kind of close myself in my office.

It’s good when there are a few things piled up and you know you need to get them done – and you have a bit of a cold. You know you can bury yourself in the work and hopefully make the day go faster.

My true hope is this dang thing only lingers for a day or so and doesn’t turn into a full-fledged cold as I don’t really feel like taking time from work and I don’t really feel like being sick, especially being the weather is supposed to be pretty nice later this week. We will see.

Hopefully your Monday is better than I am imagining mine will be!

Gone fishin’

August 22, 2012

Gone fishin’.

Not really.

I’m not a fisherman. Though there are times I wonder if I should start doing so.

Either way… I’m using this more as a filler thing. The ol’ “Gone Fishin'” idea when a break is needed.

So, this is today’s post. I got whacked with a summertime cold and am congested as can be. And, to be honest, I’m not into trying to come up with a post for today.

The photo is from my trip to South Jersey last year. I sure would like to get back there this year at some point. We’ll see what happens.

So I’ll hopefully be back tomorrow with something new. If not, I’ll see you Friday!

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Saw this This is why we can’t have nice things. Saw this on me morning walk Friday with Harper. Likely some college kids, but also as chance at local hooligans. I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
