Nothing debilitates like a sudden spring cold ~~

It's amazing how little it takes to knock me off my feet. Not often, but when it hits me; I'm a goner. Nice Epigram, Milt.

I know. A simple spring cold can put me out for a week.

It surely does take the bravery out of my bold! Ha! I am not able to speak today due to a chronic spring cold. My throat is closed.

I've been sick with a spring cold or allergies (I don't know which) for four days now. I'm taking Mucinex-D and it seems to be drying it up, but it makes me feel doped up. I hope you get to feeling better.

I've been fighting a cold or allergies or something the last couple of days. Makes me miserable. I don't think I angered Karma.

My experience with Covid was easier to deal with than the flu I just got over a week ago. Hope you're feeling spry again, Milt.

So far, I've been lucky...no Covid. I think this is a reaction to turning on the air-conditioning. I had another heart episode last week, so I'm scheduled for an angioplasty on May 6th. Keep me in your thoughts.
