hockey dropping like flies

One out with a hamstring injury. Another with a cold. I'm still in recovery. Two more who can't be relied on.

It's gonna be a rough week.

I'm at the tail end of a racking cough (not RSV, not COVID, not Flu A/B), being managed with cold-and-flu ephenphedrine or whatever that stuff is called. Doc decided against antibiotics, which is a pity because antibiotics would have cleared this up fast, and instead I'm supposed to survive on about 3 hours of sleep a night because the other 3 hours I would get is taken up with racking coughs. Then again, I often reach for the antibiotics a bit faster than perhaps we should so...

I'm just hoping I haven't passed it on to anyone I've seen this week. UGH.

saturday here, but otherwise a Friday Five

1. What is place you have visited, or want to visit, that starts with D?

Have visited Dubai, DC, and Derbyshire. Have never visited Denmark. Would have liked to visit Dare Es Salaam, but I suspect those days of that kind of travel are largely over.

2. What is a food that you like, or don't like, that starts with R?

Raspberries. Rhubarb. Radishes. All growing in my garden.

3. Own anything that starts with the letter M?

Mops, mats, mapbooks, maquettes (statuettes), mogs. :D

4. Know anyone whose name (first, middle, or last) that starts with N?

I know a Nick and a Nonie and a Nat.

5. Favorite movie, book, TV show, or song whose title starts with T?

Does The Winter Soldier count? Okay, let's go with a song by P!nk: Trustfall which is my first choice for karoake every time. I love the strong melody, combined with the words, and the way that you just belt it with your whole belly.
