The road to recovery hasn’t exactly been the smooth ride I was expecting, but I’m still headed in the right direction. A variety of symptoms come and go, but they don’t seem to be well enough organized to hit me all at the same time, the way they did for most of the week. And my energy level has risen to about where it usually is. Which isn’t all that high, to be perfectly honest, but it’s what keeps me going.

The Nyquil gel caps I was using helped me sleep, without the nasty rotgut taste of the liquid stuff. I was determined not to stay on the medication any longer than I absolutely had to, so I quit Friday night and paid the price by not sleeping well, although it was less from the symptoms than from the fact that I’d been lying around in a bloated mass for six days. There’s only so much rest available in a week, and I think I’d used mine up by Friday night.

But at least it was the weekend, so I could sleep as late as I needed to. And really, I think that what has me feeling so much better, overall. I tried to get a little work done during the day, but I guess I must be out of the habit, because I didn’t try very hard. I’m pretty sure I’m ready to attack Monday with my usual enthusiasm, though.

Jellyfish clouds.



Of course, every time I tell someone I think I’m over this cold, I go off on a sneezing jag or a coughing fit, or my eyes start burning and watering, and I’m knocked back a few pegs. So let’s not go off half-cocked claiming any miracles here. I still have a few miles left before I get to the end of that road.

Stuff

Despite putting two teams in the playoffs, the National League West won’t have any representatives in the LCS, because the Dodgers were eliminated by the Mets yesterday, and today the Padres went down meekly before the Cardinals. The difference in this game was in the sixth inning, when the Padres misplayed a bases-loaded infield grounder into one run, and David Eckstein executed a perfect squeeze play on the very next pitch. The Cardinals went on to win, 6-2, eliminating the Padres in four games and moving on to face the Mets for the NL pennant. It was a matter of a team with a punchless offense (the Padres’ two runs came on a bases-loaded walk and an infield out) playing a team that created runs when they needed them.
