Would you believe....
I still have this cold?
Chris'sakes, man.
Coughing is still risky, 'cause once I start, it takes an act of God, or a menthol cigarette, to make it stop.
This house... gawd.
Totally trashed. Oh, and speaking of cigarettes...
I went out to the parlor earlier to get Sr. to sign his check so I could get 'em deposited in time and I saw the Boss out there. (No, not Springsteen...) Anyway... I said "Hi" to 'im and told him not to get too close as I have "the cold from hell" and didn't wanna pass it on.
He says, "I see you have your cough drops", pointing to my hand. I looked, much like the RCA Victor dog, at what I was carrying and he taps on my cigarette box and said, "Bet they help, huh?" I just shook my head and laughed and didn't even bother to try to explain that, yeah, sometimes they do.
Mostly because if I hadn't had it happen before, I'd not believe they do quell coughing fits and I can't explain how it is they do that, either.
But, they do.
Sometimes. Know what else?
A year ago today was the last post Rob did before he went into Willingway.
I remember that.
Quite clearly.
I wrote him every single day he was in there and I still have the letters he wrote back to me. And, it's four days short of four months since his last post, period.
Six days short of.... the day the world became that much more a cold and lonely place to be. This is one light that, when it was extinguished, makes the "Great Northeastern Blackout" look like a match being blown out by comparison. I think the only light that might be noticed more if it went out would be the sun.
And, that's only a "maybe". *a minute or so later* Okay.
Gonna go clean this house now.
Or, raze it and rebuild.
Which very well could be easier..... Peace, ya'll.

while it may feel like smoking helps you stop coughing it is actually doing your congestion more harm than good. Because it paralyzes the cilia in the lungs.
check this out: http://www.whealth.org/teachers/guide/smoking/
"Smoking also decreases the sweeping action of cilia, tiny hair-like formations that line the airways of the lungs. If cilia cannot perform their cleaning function, poisons get built up in the lungs. Coughing is the body's response to this condition, an attempt to forcibly eject the poisons. During sleep, cilia recover some of their function and work overtime trying to sweep out the poisons; upon rising the body coughs even harder. This is referred to as "smoker's morning cough." Prolonged exposure to smoke permanently affects the cilia's ability to clean out the lungs, exacerbating the body's susceptibility to bacteria, viruses and other airborne poison."
