---------------------------------------- The endless sick March 25th, 2024 ---------------------------------------- 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. (DIR) [0] shakuhachi (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.
