Hi, all. Just dropping a note to let you know of my progress, health-wise. I wouldn’t be offended if you totally ignored this post.

So I saw an allergist this week. He took a culture from my nose and recommended a CT scan of my sinuses. The theory is that I have maxillary sinusitis, so he drew up a regimen of anti-biotics, nasal steroids and maximum strength allergy medication. All of which sounds fine, but I have to have the CT scan first before I can start the regimen. Meanwhile, I can’t take anything. This means that at night I can’t breathe through my nostrils, affecting my sleep, and making me exhausted during the day. On top of that, some creepy virus is going around my house. I was in bed most of yesterday. My son is under a pile of blankets right now, also sick as a dog. My daughter is coughing. My wife is over-taxed.

Whine, whine, whine…. What annoys me the most is how much this disrupts my cartooning. I am bored out of my mind. And a little frustrated.

Hope you all are in good spirits and health. Enjoy the start of a new summer. Get that fresh air, go for a hike, dive into your local watering hole, laze on the beach, get an ice cream cone — whatever it takes to live life in the outdoors.
