After over three weeks of feeling ill I'm actually feeling better. My appetite is back and I've more energy to do things around the house. It was such a disappointment to come home from the hospital weeks ago with the intention of taking care of myself. Such as taking my medications on a regular basis and cleaning my house so it would feel like a comfortable home that it should.
However, I got so sick that these plans were put on hold. I'm happy that I can now slowly work on fulfilling my new goals.

I am so sick and tired of being sick. More antibiotics and an uncertain "shadow" on my chest x-ray. It's getting so difficult to do anything physical for any length of time. Just have to have patience and faith. What else can I do?

Get off my lungs.

After having a cough for over two weeks, despite antibiotics and every over-counter medication and home remedy; I think its time to pack it in. The smokes have got to go. I just have to look at them for what they are. Poisonous and deadly to my body. Getting too old to be tempting fate and I really don't want to suffer more than the horrible coughing. I don't want emphysema or COPD or worse lung cancer. It's just not worth it. And then the expense. For something that makes me sick? Stupid.

The Associated Press: `Golden Girls' star Bea Arthur dies at 86

Got rid of the two previous posts which were downers to say the least.

Reading the few early posts I made. Tragic stories. That's not where I want this blog to go.

Been hooked on Facebook and Twitter. Twitter seemed boring at first. For a start I have very few followers. It's more fun following people.

I've been toying with this idea for some time. Start writing about my experiences around the world. Don't have to start at the beginning. Just pick an time and place and write.
