From Last Night: A Tickle in My Throat

Posted by lenleatherwood on

Back in LA with a giant-sized cough and a case of post-holiday fatigue. Traveling 14 hours yesterday probably didn’t help much. This cough is no doubt abetted by all the sitting going to and returning from SLC within a four-day period. Oh, or the 36 degree house when we arrived there with a malfunctioning furnace. Now, I get a tickle in my throat and a few seconds later, I am doubled over coughing.

Oh boy…

I am rarely sick. I don’t feel sick now. I just have this irksome cough.

I am going to bed now…

Sleep well, my friends.

Until tomorrow…

    Sorry to hear you’re feeling down physically. Hope it’s not the real thing. Sleep well. 🙂 3

      Tess! So happy to hear your “voice!” I am hacking away, but drinking lots of lemon tea with honey. Hugs to you.
