Shedding the Funk

Outlasting Another Storm

As I write this, I feel better than I have in a few weeks. I’ve been trying to conquer an upper respiratory infection, for which I was prescribed one of those “Z-Packs” that didn’t quite do the job. I don’t know if it’s allergies stirred up by a monstrosity of a storm, something more severe, or what…but the cough and congestion have been significant. However, keeping things in perspective…these are but minor annoyances when compared to how substantial the damage from Hurricane Milton is on my side of the state.

So many people with damage to their homes. So much flooding. So many stories, sad ones, about people losing most or all of their belongings. People living in areas that weren’t considered flood zones are still trying to dig their stuff out. A week after the storm, some still have no power and are losing their freaking minds. So, a little creeping crud in my chest and nose? No big deal at all.
