Random Thoughts

I had the first of a new math class on Saturday. Seems like lots of "small" assignments for this teacher. Might as well just get started and stay ahead. So this afternoon I will organize my stuff and see what I will be doing the next two weeks.
Yesterday in church I just coughed my head off during sacrament meeting and Sunday school, getting weird looks from everyone. I hate not being able to move the junk in my lungs. As I was walking - slowly - up to the organ for prelude music Dad and Lowell (the local PA) watched me. Lowell said to get to the clinic for a shot because he could tell I was in trouble. I went home during the last hour and tried to sleep, which was good because I did't cough as much. But the day wasn't so good and we ended up going down for a medrol shot. I didn't know it came in a shot form. I am breathing a bit better, but still coughing.
I keep wondering, what are we missing here. Coughing for 5 months straight can't be too good. We keep medicating for asthm or infections but I still cough. Most of the time it doesn't come from my lung but my throat, like my vocal chords have a tickle all the time. Coughing so hard and nothing moves in my lungs, just my vocal chords get terribly irriated. I do get relief after a 6 day dose of medrol. The next three weeks are great, but then sinus infections or asthma kicks in again and the coughing comes back. I wish spring would come!
And what do we have this morning....snow! The storm is finally here. I wonder just how much we will get with this one because it is coming from the south.
I didn't get much sleep last night because I was watching all the news about President Hinkley. I can't say I was shocked because we knew it would come before too much longer. What a happy reunion in heaven with his beloved wife. I am sure this will bring lots of questions in the media because of the public view of Mormons at this time.
