Not so bad

Other than the sniffles I'm not feeling so bad today. Sniffles I can deal with, as a matter of fact I feel pretty perky because of the pseudoephedrine. I can't hear a damn thing today, though. I'm a little deaf to begin with, thanks to days when I used to surf two or three times a week (the tiny sand particles suspended in the seawater have a way of grinding up the little bones in ones ears), now with my head all stuffed up it feels and sounds not unlike having earplugs in.
