Feeling more gurgley now, than in the early days. What started as a throat clearing tickle, is now a very phlegmatic hacking, wracking cough. I could honestly do without it, but that’s not my path right now it would seem. NyQuil at least gets me better quality sleep, even if my mornings are more groggy than I care for. Oh well! I feel like, now that there is a physical aspect to the cough, the gurgle of mucous in question, I’m making headway towards getting over it. Eight days of just painful coughing with no real definable source was annoying. Now there’s phlegm, so… that’s the point to attack I feel. That’s where I direct my attention now. So – is it really getting better? I don’t know, but if history serves as any guide, I’m going in the right direction. I think. But after looking up a few things, I do not believe it to be Whooping Cough. A sigh of relief was had by all.
It’s Friday today! End of a short week. The first four days of school have come, and are almost gone. No major morning melt downs – yet! So that feels promising. Have yet to lay eyes on my oldest child’s teacher, so I need to figure out who it is, beyond just a name. I’ve met my youngest’s teacher a number of times through the years, so no issue there.
My table project is progressing, albeit a tad slowly. If I can cut, and round over, and sand the legs today, then I can stain them on Monday, and build the capture point, and drill them all out, and think about putting it all together downstairs at the end of next week. I’d love to let the stain off gas outside of the house before I bring it all downstairs to stink up the basement with stains, oils, and sprayed clear coats. But likely I’ll rush to bring it inside just to have it done, and over with. So there is that to contend with. The kids don’t spend a whole lot of time downstairs, so I don’t think the smell will bother them. Just me. My office is downstairs, and that’s where I spend the majority of my day.
What else to say? Oh yeah – wife has been back to work for two weeks now. House feels empty with just the dog and I here. I have yet to venture out to grab a hot lunch. I do make a mean sandwich here with all my fixings, so it’s not really a problem. Work has quieted down a touch, but that’s because all of the marketing interns have returned to school, and the brand people are circling wagons, and looping back to see where they stand on any given project. Could be a few more days before I see any new items become available. It’s to be expected.
Still have not found the time to go see Deadpool 3, nor Alien Romulus. I’d like to catch at least one of them in theaters, but streaming will suffice if I end up having to wait even longer. I will eventually see them. Just a matter of time.
Well, I should get back to my table project. It won’t finish itself. Ciao Bella!
