Important Facts to Remember as You Grow Older!

I'm in the writing cave today working on the last couple of chapters of the WIP and trying to ignore this head cold. The writing is coming along amazingly well; the head cold and cough, not so much. My cough sounds like it's erupting from a full grown hippo that is rasping out it's last death rattle so that's pretty hard to ignore. The 911 folks called once to see if I needed an ambulance. The animal control folks showed up with a search warrant to be sure I wasn't harboring an endangered species.

Before I go back into my cave with a cup of hot tea I thought I'd pass on some useful information a friend shared with me today. It made me smile, not giggle. When I laugh, the coughing gets worse! But it did put my temporary bronchitis/cold into perspective!
