The illness that I wrote about a couple of days ago has subsided to some degree; I now only have a constant, painful, throaty cough.  I've been coughing for two days straight.  And it sucks.  SUCKS.  Melissa's making me sleep in the spare bedroom I'm coughing so much. I'd intended to write about the fact that we are now only 2 weeks from leaving Tunisia.  But I am just positively wrecked.  My stomach hurts from coughing.  My back hurts from coughing.  My chest hurts from coughing.  My throat is raw from coughing.  My whole body is spasmodic.  I was thinking of picking up smoking, but the mere possibility of emphysema is enough to dissuade me of that otherwise-appealing notion. 9:30:03 PM    Let's hear it.
