2:54

it's 2:54 am and i'm wide awake. well..maybe not wide awake, but the fact that i can barely breathe is keeping me from falling asleep, despite exhaustion.

every winter for as long as i can remember, i have gotten sick. twice. if i'm lucky, i can stop it at bronchitis, but it usually ends up as pneumonia once every couple of years. this winter, i was proactive. i put myself on a regimen. airborne, zicam, vitamin c, echinacea. two weeks on, two weeks off.

and then it was february. then march. then april. and i was in the clear.

until AUGUST!

it's the usual. my body aches and feels 40 pounds heavier than usual. my throat feels like sandpaper. my nose needs some drano.

i blame it on air conditioning in commercial buildings. but it doesn't really matter what i blame it on. i can't sleep, and three more minutes have passed. 2:57am.
