More pathetic moaning.....

I know that if you were here, you would ask me how I'm doing today. Since you're not, I'll just tell you. I'm doing just several steps above wretched.

Having continuing sinus problems due to our climate here, it is particularly gauling to have the further and added discomfort of a cold. This too shall pass, but let me describe how I would prefer to spend the weekend. It would be in an oxygen tent hooked up to a strong drip IV antibiotic, laced with morphine. Morphine being named after the the god Morpheus, the god of sleep. I'd like to be knocked out for several days, waking up cured of the cold and sinus infection and completely rested. Instead..... I'll be getting up at 7:30 A.M. to go to young Jack's first church league basketball game of the year. And may a pox fall on the house of the person who scheduled a church league basketball game at 8:30 on a Saturday morning.
