Breathing is good

and should not be taken for granted. I am wondering if I have asthma or some such. I've been having a stink of a time breathing lately - almost went home from class last night because I was making so much noise hacking and wheezing. My pipes are definitely tender, sore and overworked - and the rest of me feels fine. I'm too scared to go to the doctor. I'm just going to keep my peppermint steam nightly and keep my syrups handy and try to work up the courage to ask for medical help. I wish I could be at an event tonight honoring Rosa Parks and Mrs. King but I had such a fit of coughing before I would have left that I decided to stay home where I could croak in peace - double meaning intended.

Gah.

On the up though, The Puff is back and is seeming very well. He fights me remaining teefs and nails when I try to give him his antibiotics. All is well when I can't convince him I'm right. My sweet little P. Awwww.
