A Fond Farewell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nina’s sister Pamela has been visiting here for a couple of days. She’s a lot of fun to have around and the two of them thoroughly enjoy each other’s company. Goodbyes are always hard. I’m of the opinion, however, that I should leave when people are happy I came and not stay so long that they’re happy I’ve left.<\/p>\n

One thing that could go away with no regrets is this cold that I have. It’s kind of settled in the chest bringing with it a deep, hacking cough. Getting a reasonable cough suppressant in the United States is nearly impossible. There are no over-the-counter drugs that’ll do anything for a cough.

On the other hand, the good stuff is available over-the-counter in many other countries. The last time we were in Canada I stocked up on Calmylyn which contains codeine, a very effective cough suppressant for me. I’m almost out, the cold and cough isn’t gone, and that’s gonna be a problem!<\/p>\n
