A fine day awaits!  The cold I have been battling for nearly two weeks seems to be about done fighting me.  We tied in the battle as it knocked me down a couple of times and now I seem to have it by the throat and it is about to die!

What made the difference between it knocking me down for the count or just down a couple of times?

I attribute it to cold beer in the evenings, to sooth an otherwise rough throat.

Continuing to eat solid foods containing meat and potatoes.

And when I realized I was spending more time in the bathroom than in any other room in the house, I ate a very big dill pickle and drank a bit of juice from the jar!  That is when everything changed for the better!

What is the scientifics of it all?

My answer is:  Who cares!  I feel a whole lot better this morning than I did yesterday, and 10 times better than the day before that, and 100 times better than the day before the day before.

Yes!  A new beginning!  Is painting in my future?  YES!
