OK, my throat feels like i gargled with an emery board! My head feels like it's twice it's normal size and weight, and I'm wheezing.

I got the right combo for sleeping: Tavist, Tylenol and my albuterol inhaler. Albuterol makes me very jittery though, but opens the old breathing passages in the lungs.

I'm drinking, drinking, drinking, and I've done TONS of online stuff today. I wish I could lie in bed and type, but I'm actually having to sit UP in a chair!

My voice is so gone, this is the only place for me to get my words out! So bear with me.

Keri Smith's book Living Out Loud has a creative exercise in it that I want to share. Write down as many uses for a pencil as you can think of. Shoot for 100. I have over 125 right now, and I'm going to post them in my sidebar. Don't read mine yet, and make your own. Copy and paste it into the comments for this post. Having a really high fever helps, I'm sure, but all you healthy people need to try, too.

PBS was showing a Tracy Chapman concert in Austin TX - Austin City Limits - tonight. She looks FAB. I did a great sketch of her during her closeups. I had no idea she was SO beautiful. Keep checking. I'm going to do a painting, too.
