I’m not going to write much tonight. I feel kind of wheezy and asthma-ish today (which is unusual because I do not–or did not–have asthma). There’s usually–almost always–a little congestion in my sinuses and a little cough in the mornings, but today my lungs just feel . . . tight. I’m not liking it very much! When I got home from work I made some tea with honey/lemon/brandy (which usually helps any kind of coughing/sore throat–it’s highly recommended), and right now I’ve got my humidifier going with some Vicks liquid. My room smells very menthol-y, but what can you do? Next step is take my shower (maybe a little hotter and steamier than usual), make some more tea, and then settle in front of the tv with my book and my knitting for the evening. It should be the next-to-last night on the main body of my pi-are-square shawl, and then I’ll start the edging.

Speaking of books.

I got this from Rose (http://rosebyany.blogspot.com/) who got it from http://www.littleturtleknits.com/blog/ who got it from . . . well, you get the idea. It’s the Bookish Game!

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you

Making a show about it–stretching it out just a little–Jim reached into his pocket and pulled out the Book.
