Oy vey – that was quite a cold. Well, it still is. But now it feels like what I recall normal colds to feel like. I never take sick days for a simple cold (I’ve had quite a few colds since the last time I took sick days in 2006 and never dreamed of skipping work over them). But this one has been brutal. <\/p>\n
On the plus side, the strange dreams have ceased, as has my ibuprofin\/aspirin\/Sudafed\/Afrin\/Mucinex cocktail. I wonder if there’s a correlation?<\/p>\n
And on the plusser side (is there such a thing?) Randy and I each received $500 vouchers from American Airlines for our inconvenience during last week’s “emergency” repair episode. In addition, they also said to fax them receipts for any actual expenses we incurred as a result of having to extend our stay (extra night’s lodging, meals, transportation). Sweet! I knew American Airlines was my preferred airline for a reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
