Hobson's Choice
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The COLD
I firmly believe in getting sick from time to time, getting knocked on your ass by an illness. It's a good reminder that the world does go on without us, that our work is not in fact indispensable, that life will continue if we lie on the couch for a day. And it's a good kick in the head, too, to those of us who tend to lose track of the mind-body continuum, a little memo to our heads that the body is in fact running the show. Further, it's good to have a bad cold from time to time, the humbling knowledge that we can in fact be taken down by a little extra mucuous. It's all good preparation for dealing with mortality.
All the same, I would love to be able to breathe just about now.
I've taken the aleve/sudafed/
benadryl/inderol cocktail, and I'm headed for bed and hopefully, hopefully some sleep
