I am now on my second round of antibiotics for the combination bronchitis and sinus infection. I would like to be done with all of this, especially since I've reached that point in recovery where I think I can be productive and then fall over on the couch after doing two things.

While I'm happy for the local football fans that the Seahawks are going to the Superbowl, I hate the fireworks. And apparently they caused two housefires in our area, which is horrible.

I've had to switch my work computer from Apple to a Windows machine, and all of my peripherals are fighting me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's been 7+ years since I had to touch Windows and I didn't think it could get worse. I guess Windows 11 looked at all previous versions and said "hold my beer".

Jilli, for the coughing, have you tried Tessalon Pearls? They aren't opioids like codeine, but they work like spooky magic to stop coughing.

I've been taking the Tessalon Pearls every night, but am trying to make sure I have "productive coughing" as per the clinic doctor.

Productive coughing is gross, but important.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I thought this was interesting. A video discussing the translation of "hwæt." [link]

Very interesting! Not something I know much of anything about, but I like hearing about it
