meditations on disease (medications on disease to come later)
Rian wants me to write something clever about the basketball game we attended tonight, but right now I'm just trying to breathe comfortably.After reading several web sites about the difference between a cold and the flu, I've convinced myself this is a cold. But it's one miserable hell of a cold.I'm not sure if it's Oregon's climate or just a sign of an already-aging immune system, but it seems as though I've been getting sick a lot more than I used to in the past few years. Life seems to be happening more quickly, too, though, so maybe it just seems like I get sick more often because of changes in how I perceive time.I feel like I kind of brought this cold on myself. I worked really hard this week, putting in longer-than-usual hours. Then I went out after work tonight and screamed myself silly when the Blazers won. No wonder I'm a mess right now.At least I've got Ben, who is willing to go out to the 24-hour drug store in the middle of the night when his girlfriend is feeling sick to buy symptom-alleviating pills and powders.
