I Can Be Your Hero, Baby

So that death cough is still here.
Worst in the morning, when I'm first up and my lungs haven't had time to do their best Lazarus impression. It probably doesn't help that I live in a dark, dank basement. This morning it was so bad my roommate came out of her room and asked if I was dying. I saw the camp doctor today (pays to have a MD on call any time campers are present) and it's not the whooping cough again. Whoop for joy about that one (that was for you, Hatch.) He gave me a bunch of pills, a cough suppressant and more albuterol for my inhaler. That basically translates into speed, speed and inhaled speed. In between coughing fits and sneezing, I'm spazzy.
So much for gettin' that pack of camels for the long drive back to VA...(jk)

Since "Lost" has been on hiatus most of the year, and the show is frankly starting to piss me off, I've taken to a new show that is similar but less smoke-killing-people-off-ish. I started watching "Heroes" simply because NBC has all the episodes online and I don't have TV. I'm really getting into it. Not in an obsessive way, but I do love me a show that causes my brain to occasionally jump above the comatose state caused by most of primetime.

I think lately I've been trying to actively not think. There's too much to prepare for, too much to consider, too much to weigh. So much I have to verbally process and I haven't had the means or the energy to do it lately. I'm heading back to LoCo on the 21st and I'll be at my dad's on the 22nd, though with my stepmom there I never know if I'll be welcome or not. One day she is lukewarm, the next she is frosty, still the next she is hugs and smiles. Consistency would be nice, no matter which form it may take. Steeling myself for anything takes more energy than I'd like to dictate to such a task.

Lastly, best Christmas present received so far:

Yes, that is Seany and Romano, sitting on a cannon out on the coast of NC. Why this photo makes me giggle so hard I haven't yet deciphered. But come on, it's funny. Now every time I have my coffee in it, I smile. Good present you drunken Irish!
