The Old Blog in the Desert

For days now, I have had a cold.
Still and without complaint, I get up and do what needs done.
Today, it was mowing the back yard.
I say WAS, because I practically choked-to-death on the cough drop I’d taken to prevent me from hacking till I could not breathe.
God is laughing at me, isn’t he?
Tell me the truth!
I can take it.
