On the mend

Hello (cough, cough) all... I think I'm finally on the mend. It literally has been a week of non-stop yuckiness in my head, but the coughing... hacking... and the all too fun drainage have made the pronounced appearance usually signalling the conclusion of my once a year blow-out illness! This year seemed to be the worst with the new and improved fever... many times over the last several days it would rise to 102 leaving me more exhausted than normal.

(hack, cough, clear thought, swallow hard)

With my voice still a shadow of its former self, and the cracks it makes from time to time... life is starting to return to normal.
