I could get used to this....
So... I worked 25 extra hours last payperiod. I'm salaried, which means no extra money for those extra hours. So I asked my boss if I could move 8 of those hours onto this time period and take today off... she said yes!! :bounce:

It's 72 and sunny here today... I've cleaned the house, gotten an appraisal for our move, had a snack-style lunch, played on the internet, taken a 3.5 mile walk in the sunshine, enjoyed and iced coffee, have a nice grapefruit waiting for me, and I've still got a couple hours before Zornhau gets home to goof around on my banjo, shower, nap, whatever... and about 5 hours before I have to go pick up the kiddo.

I hope I'm not jinxing anything by posting this... life is really excellent today. :)

How're you?

2. The only thing I can think of today is the bottle of Robitussin I'll be getting after work
Edited on Thu Apr-24-08 02:39 PM by DS1
This crap that's in my lungs is unbelievably difficult to cough up.

otherwise, I'm fine. And I love this temperature where you can't feel it being hot or cold, until a breeze hits, and it's softly cool.

4. Oy, sorry you're sick...
Vitamin C and N-Acetyl Cysteine (sold as NAC) will help with thinning out that crap, if the Robitussin doesn't... :hug:

Exactly, about the weather. So perfect to be outside in! :D

9. The only caveat.
You HAVE to drink tons of water. And I mean tons. It will loosen the phlegm, so that the medicine can work.

I gave it to my son when he had pneumonia back in March and it worked really well.
