i have a cold. does anyone know what walking pneumonia is? anyway i don’t feel good and am taking it easy today. i am so sleepy, which as you can see appears to be rubbing off on those around me.
is there strength in numbers? maybe not when it comes to colds. hopefully i will be back tomorrow tanned rested and ready for action.

Feel better, Gigi! If FedExing you some Angelo Brocato’s would help, just let me know…

Oy! There’s no such thing as walking pneumonia btw: there’s only plain old pneumonia. I had it just last spring, about this time. Ick. I just felt really run down and I finally went in to see my doc “Dr. Tough-It-Out” and yes indeedy a chest x-ray revealed I had it. A bit of an antibiotic and it cleared up, eventually. It took a good month before I felt “normal” though. Don’t mess around if you’re really still hurting. xoxo

i’ve had pneumonia twice. there is a whistling wheezy sound in the lungs when you have it. only the doc can diagnose it, tho. feel better, my friend. and call me if you need anything!

aw, thanks for writing in you guys.
me, i like to self diagnose — it runs in the family. it’s my legacy! but i suppose i will do something about it if it gets worse.
dr tough-it-out? hahahaha
i don’t have that wheezing yet. at least i don’t think so. nope.
thanks to you both for the perk up. 🙂
