Conatti returns

Tuesday was the sixth day at home in a row for me. This stuff seems to be getting better, but far too slowly. My cough has largely subsided, with occasional small flareups, but now it is just congestion keeping me up at night. I finally decided to stop fighting it and try to sleep while breathing through my mouth, since my sinuses are completely clogged anyway. It feels kinda like drowning, but I was able to get a couple of hours of sleep that way. I showered but didn't shave -- still haven't done both on the same day for almost a week. Taking the antihistamine in the afternoon didn't provoke as much activity as prior days, so maybe that is progress.

President Pickerd called me and Dee. We have a farewell lunch planned with them for Wednesday, but we'll  see if it actually happens.  In the late afternoon, I was feeling pretty cruddy, but in the evening it seemed like maybe I turned a corner. Let's hope so.

It was a very busy day at the campus, with 16 GANS-aged kids. Dee had no free time, but they were able to leave a little early. She got home before 9pm, not even having had time for dinner yet.
Dee home somewhat early, famished. Anziano Conatti, a Ganziiano from a year ago, returned to visit from Brazil, and I really hated to miss that!
