       The endless sick

       Ugh, I'm so tired of being sick. I took a trip to the US for
       a weekend and brought back the flu. It raged for a few days and
       then settled into my lungs. Now it's nearly a month later and I'm
       still working up all the crap inside me.
       
       Cough Cough Cough
       
       I felt like an extra big dummy on Wednesday, though. I was talking
       to someone about the shakuhachi [0] and I sent them a link to some
       practice I had recorded a couple years ago [1]. The name of the
       recording was Breathing Exercises 2. And that's when it hit me!
       I used shakuhachi practice to strengthen my lungs and recover
       after covid. Why haven't I been doing it after this stupid flu?
       Complete idiot, this guy right here.

 (HTM) [1] Breathing Exercises 2
       
       Well, I've been good about putting in practice every day since
       then and while I'm still coughing my chest has started feeling
       more in control. The amount of phlegm I'm working up in
       increasing. Hopefully I'll feel good again in time for whatever
       next trip I need to take so I can get sick again.
