The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 09

So, this walking crap is unpredictable. I feel better today but have no appetite. Even so, I forced myself to eat breakfast. Well, dry cereal with very little milk.
That pneumonia still beating you up? I used to get that in Colorado all the time.
Stay warm, if you feel any congestion and have access to albuterol, puff on that stuff. Hot lemonade with a dash of whiskey. (It may not help but it's worth a try)
 
Jamison and I have been staying in touch this week—in coffee, tea, and straight-out-of-the-bottle. (I'm just kidding on the straight-out-of-the-bottle. I use a jelly glass)

This is not good. A snifter of port has set my dry cough off.

Need to check if whiskey had the same effect.
 
One of these days I'm going to develop an aromatic drink that one drinks from a snifter and is greenish in color. When somebody asks me what it is, I'll reply "Starboard"
 
When I was in Scouts, we used to collect bottles as a fund-raiser. The leader said the way to remember port and starboard is - (holding up a bottle).

Port is red, and there's hardly any left.
 
I'm going back to the doctor today for yet another shot to combat this damn shit in my lungs.
There's a device called an AerobiKa, you blow into it and it interrupts the air stream which makes your lungs vibrate and it shakes the gook out. See if your doctor thinks it might help.

I puff on one quite often when writing. I understand what you're going through, it's hard to write a sex scene when your lungs are screwed up. That is something you can't ignore and it messes with every other system in your body, including your mood.

Rx
2 oz ardent spirits (Bermudan Black Seal dark rum by preference, but brandy, rye or even bourbon will do in a pinch)
2 tbsp brown sugar
large squirt of lemon juice
one pat of butter
one cinnamon stick
half a dozen whole cloves
boiling water
prn

It may not help, but it will make you feel entirely more complacent about the illness.

A Hot Buttered Rum cures everything, especially this time of year, but if you're immune to the effects of the Hot Buttered Rum, try ye olde Tom & Jerry:

 
I didn't see this until I got back. I'm feeling better already, though. I know antibiotics don't work that fast, so maybe it's all psychological, but I've been plotting for the past hour.

Well... I've spent the morning supervising the crew putting up a privacy fence at our studio. We gave up on the idea of a hot tub at our house - neighbors too close, one with a second-story window peering down upon our patio. So we decided on a "courtyard" and a nice tall vinyl fence. No neighbors, as we have the whole block. Everything won't be ready to install the tub for two or three weeks, just in time for below-freezing weather. 🤷‍♂️

Pizza for lunch, I think. Maybe tacos and a margarita. Yeah, that's the ticket.
