I have taken six of the ten days worth of antibiotics for my respiratory infection and I'm beginning to feel human again. I can sleep through the night breathing through my nose and not wake up every hour to blow my nose. That's improvement.

I feel pretty pathetic writing about this improvement when I read about the achievements of some of the athletes on SP. But we each have our own path to go. I'm going to worship today and hope I can keep from coughing too much.

My backpack is ready for tomorrow's trip to the airport and beyond. Yes, my preferred carry-on in a backpack, just like in the old school days. It's easier than dragging a wheelie, leaves both hands free and centers the weight on my back where I'm strongest. Just have to put in some healthy snacks and I'll be ready.
