Day 4 I’m still sick. Today, I think, is worse than yesterday.I don’t remember much about yesterday, though. I’m still better than days one and two.I took a shower this morning and changed my “Abdomen Wear.”I could shorten that to “Ab Wear.” That sounds kinda sexy.

I woke up at 5 a.m. with a lot of drainage in my head.I coughed to clear phlegm as I got out of bed.Trying my best to suppress what I was thinking, I thought I would drive to the bottom of the hill to get a coffee. I figured something hot would help clear my…

We then cooked Oatmeal. Quaker Oatmeal. The kind you have to…
