Well, that was a week and a half

My 2023 has not started out well.

On Jan. 2, I came down with a migraine.  That lasted for about 48 hours and was accompanied by fevers and chills and a general sense of malaise/fatigue.

On Wednesday the 4th, the headache subsided, but I also woke up that day with a sore throat.  I feared there was more fun and adventure awaiting in the days ahead, and I was right.  I came down with a sinus infection.

By the weekend, I had done so much nose-blowing that the rims of my nostrils were chapped.

I've been trying to drink at least one bottle of Gatorade each day in order to stay hydrated and help flush that stuff out.  I've been sucking down cough drops like they're candy.  I haven't done a pushup in at least a week.

So that's where I'm at right now.  I'm still sick, but not as bad as I was a few days ago.  I'm hoping this stuff clears up soon.

Also--and this just developed within the last day--I've got some pain in my toe in the same place where I had my abscess.  I figure there are two possibilities: either the toe was squeezed in a shoe too much and hurts simply because it was cramped, which I consider unlikely, or else there's a piece of scab trying to work its way to the surface from somewhere deep inside my flesh.

That's my 2023 so far.

Happy New Year to me, I guess.  :(
