I like the Quiet

As in not coughing. The time between coughing fits is getting longer and longer but the fits themselves are painful. My throat is starting to heal. My tongue looks like a war zone but it is slowly getting better. Eating is an adventure because it hurts to eat so liquids and smooth things are my favorite now. So I am getting over this crud but it is taking a long time to do so.

I like quiet in general. There are times that no noise helps me sort things out. But there are other times that I need some form of noise to collect my thoughts. I find when I am building puppets I tend to marathon a tv show or movies. When I write fiction I listen to music. Web logging I like to have quiet to assemble my thoughts but I can work with the noise of the house if I need to.

The end of the Packers/Cardinals game was exciting. The Packers could have had it but the Cardinals won the coin toss and drove their way down the field to a touchdown and the win. The Patriots won and I knew they were going to after the half. Kansas City just couldn’t get it together.

Baseball is on the horizon. I am looking forward to getting back to watching baseball. I just hope the Mets haven’t screwed themselves with their lack of trades and trying to hang onto personnel.

I am looking forward to getting back to the gym this week. I haven’t been able to due to illness and I am itching to get back. I just have to remember not to push it too hard at the beginning so I don’t hurt myself.

Thank you to my sister Sheila for pointing me to where the word “adulting” originated. It is from a website called Adulting. It is a pretty interesting website with solid advice. I honestly feel better now for knowing.

So little steps heading back to health. The longer I don’t have to take cough medicine or a decongestant, the happier I am.

I am grateful for each breath without coughing.
