honey and sting

It stopped raining long enough for a really spectacular near sunset -- porcelain blue sky, white clouds transcending softly to pink as the light faded... great big fluffy midnight blue rainclouds off in a polite distance with golden lit edges...

Okay, it's pretty here. Throw out your arms and go "wow", pretty.

Found a "breathing" tea at the health food store and seem to have stopped hacking for now. My lungs are raw, which I think is more metaphor than anything else... sometimes it just hurts to breathe. But damn, air feels good when you get it deep down in there.

Devo, loopy on a few too many chemical life aids (2 prescription inhalers, 2 prescription pills--for the Crohn's, one OTC cough suppressant, and herb tea, in case you were wondering).
