Posted on January 7, 2016 by wonkydonkey

The cold I caught on the 30th had grander aspirations than being a mere nuisance, and developed into a rip-roaring case of bronchitis. I’ve got a lovely assortment of modern prescription medicines at hand now, and the beast seems to … Continue reading →

Digging deep

Posted on January 5, 2016 by wonkydonkey
