What Seniors Do In Bed

It is 3:12 a.m.

My sweetie and I are in bed. He is listening to a recorded book on his laptop
I have just finished reading on my iPad about Congress's inability to craft a new budget that
addresses current realities. The possibility of the U.S. government defaulting on
its fiscal responsibilities is being talked about as something that really could happen.

In my mouth I have a piece of sugar free hard candy because it reduces the coughing
that I've been experiencing since early February. The cough is part of the reason I am still awake.
I've seen numerous specialists and think I've finally been given the correct diagnosis. I'll
contact the ENT doc with whom I've previously consulted two or three months ago to work out a treatment plan.
I though my sweetie had fallen asleep but then he commented that I'm coughing more
than usual. I'm going to try again to enter Sleepland. I'll catch up with checking out my friend's blogs in
the next week or so. It's 4 a.m. now.

Not your parent's Seniors, are we? I hope you have success with treating the cause of the cough! That just wears you out.

I have not stopped muttering under my breath since this whole debt ceiling debate began! Bunch of idiots!

wishing you success with the ent!

Thanks Laughing Wolf. I've gotten some relief. The ENT was not helpful, but a NP in the allergy dept. prescribed something that's helps considerably.
