Going to a baseball game.

Hi Steve,

I'm still sick, unfortunately, hacking and coughing all over the place, and frankly it's annoying me.  This has been sticking around for over a week.  I can't seem to get rid of it.  I've been knocked on my butt with this, sitting upright in a chair at night time, trying to sleep that way, because if I lay down, I can't breathe.  This has NOT been fun.

But, today is Pete's company "team building" activity, which involves going to a baseball game.  So despite my feeling like death warmed over, I'll be there with Pete and my mom, cheering on the Pirates, eating a hotdog, and hopefully NOT coughing too much on everybody around me.  I'll be eating cough drops like candy, I'm sure.

Oh but first I gotta take my mom to a place where she's doing a study on COPD, which she has, and I get to sit around for 90 minutes twiddling my thumbs until she's done.  Yippy.  You can tell I am thrilled.  Pete and my mom both don't seem to understand, that I am SICK, and I don't really FEEL like doing all this stuff right now.  I would much rather just crawl back into the covers and stay in bed.

I have to go for now, but I just wanted you to know that I'm still kickin', just feeling rather yucky still.

Love you lots...xoxo
