Doing better. Still fighting this throat infection after 2 1/2 weeks. The Zithromycin was like popping Skittles against it. The Augmentin didn't do much better, so my doc put me on Cipro and Rymed, and that seems to be the magic bullet. Still have another week to take it, and my throat is still a little sore and my voice sounds like a steam whistle, but it's coming along nicely. I'm glad I only worked a day and a half since getting back from Maryland, and I'm off tomorrow, so I should be good to go. Got the last of the Christmas decorations packed away, and I'm getting ready to go get a chicken going. We stopped at the Lodge Cast Iron Outlet in Commerce, GA on the way up, and got a nice cast iron Dutch oven (we've never had a Dutch oven of any kind before). We're breaking it in with a whole chicken stuffed with onions, celery, carrots, garlic, lemon slices, etc. Ought to smell good on an evening like this. It is getting cold out there. Then I'm getting a shower, and going to fetch a little more adult refreshment and see if I can locate some more firewood to add to the stack. Be back in a couple hours or so.
