just sick

i got booted from the shop because of my cold, i wasn’t allowed to share my expelled virus. (whatever’s plural). chest wracking coughs forces up goop to be swallowed.

yesterday i drove up to west sedona top do my wash and fill the percocet script.

last night i drove out to the overlook for the night. started out by myself. before i went to bed a large rv rentak rig pulled. not my friends. i crawled into bed and fell asleep. i was awakened later to rain pounding on the roof and a bright light shining around. i crawled out of bed to learn thne light source as a man was packing stuff onto a backpack, the light was like a lantern hooked to his belt. he headed out in the rain.

i ate 1 percocet b4 bed. pain seemed to be about the same. i am able to sleep on my left side while using the bolster pillow from the sling to prop up my right arm which takes pain away. temp dropped to lower 40s. i turned on the furnace which started on the 3rd start cycle. i woke up several times to see the flashing red led meaning it didn’t start. it did restart.

today i stayed at the overlook till late afternoon. coughing. hacking. i sat in the driver’s seat reading kingsolver. mid afternoon i walked following cow path to camp spot 1st past over look. the road in was blocked by a hazardous road condition because of the muddy bog. i walked the road to my favorite spot to check it out. road withstood the rain allowing a non muddy approach. i walked back to overlook then drove back to favorite spot. i’m here for the night.

i haven’t been sleeping well because of surgery pain and the hacking cough. may i wake up tomorrow w/o the cough.

my voice is horribly affected by the cough, i can’t tell stories.

  1. Could be worse, Craig, you could be going to work in a windowless office building…Let me know when your cold/ lungs are better are comfortable enough to talk, I’ll give you a call.
