Koff!

That’s German for “cough,” isn’t it?

No, I don’t “feel better” right now. I don’t anticipate that I will for weeks and weeks. I’ve officially stopped smoking for eight days now, so none of this really counts. None of the bitching, none of the complaining. I’m not allowed to crab just yet. Maybe later.

I’ve hated this week and my body has returned the favor. Sure, the coughing is okay when I’m alone, but in a conference call? With the bosses and the bigwigs? Not so good.

Not at all.
