General State of the Bill

Bouncing back? Okay, maybe not bouncing but feeling more human.  The kids brought home some virus, and we've all been hot potato'ing it around for three weeks.  Finally we seem to be climbing out of it, and not a moment too soon. 

The biggest remnant now is a cough that wracks me down deep in my chest - if I let it loose, I'll cough until my vision clouds.  I coughed so hard Saturday that I thought I'd re-broken a rib, and yesterday came near to passing out at one point.  The coughs are infrequent now, but I feel tired, like I'm not getting enough oxygen.  Michelle is in much the same boat.

Map's Edge's current project is going well.  I need to update the website to reflect what I'm actually doing instead of the brainstorming it is now.  With a couple of projects under my belt, it's not really accurate any more.

Glad you're finally coming to the end of your sickness. Sounds dreadful.

My dear, if you can tolerate it, get some Echinacea and Golden seal, in capsule form. It will help kick that cough. When I used to have pneumonia twice a year, that stuff worked wonders for kicking the rest of the symptoms after I was done with the antibiotic.

Bruce can't take it because it makes him sleepy but I have no problems with it. It does come in liquid form for putting a couple drops under the tongue but as it tastes generally like rotten celery, I highly recommend the capsules.
