Blah blah blah sick
I’ve decided it must be the smog making/keeping me sick. By now I can get out of breath walking across the house. (Yeah, yeah, see a doctor. Unlikely, at least not until it drags on longer.) Also I cough a lot. Helpful friends and family members have diagnosed me with: a bad cold; bronchitis; pneumonia. No one’s mentioned TB or whooping cough *yet*, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
I have no idea what I do with my time, since I am unable to concentrate on anything but my achy head or my coughs which have been described as coughing up a lung, or coughing up [some large animal].
I could never smoke because I think I would die from the ensuing coughs.

hate those kinds of coughs. smog/haze certainly doesn’t help when you’re sick. feh. hope you’re feeling better soon. also hope you aren’t contagious ;)

Maybe it’s consumption. How glamorously tragic…

I hope you’re feeling better soon. Coughs are no fun at all. (Even when they are these weird little coughs I get from time to time - heart related, I think. But the kind of croupy coughs you describe are the worst.)

I discovered this past spring that nothing kick starts a latent illness better than pollution.
