Dealing with it

Since my last post I have been almost exclusively holed up in my guest room dealing with sinus pain and a chest cold. Blech. But I understand now how great writers of the past were able to do their work. When you don't have the ability to watch tv or drive a car and your just at home with your thoughts in a room, stirring stories come to mind. I attempted to put a story to paper but it simply hurt to keep my eyes open. I hope I can recreate it over the weekend.

It is amazing the therapeutic benefits of a hot shower or hot compress across the face. I think I would have no discomfort had I simply been able to to spend the last three days in a steam room or some magically always hot shower.

It is advantageous that HP7 (the new Harry Potter book) comes out this weekend. I should have plenty of time to read. I am going to attempt some very easy cycling and running this weekend and the remainder of the time laying low and gathering my energy for next week.
