I've had some breathing issues the past couple of days. Last night a short walk up a not even very steep incline turned me into Panting Pauline. This morning, I'm Coughing Cathy. Ugh. I'm going to assume it's a passing thing but it did make me research my rescue inhaler which I've never liked and never felt it was much of a rescue.

Turns out they are discontinuing it next year and the replacement is ready now. Yeah! I have an appointment with my doctor next Monday anyway so I sent him a note with the link to the new one and asked him to consider it.

Really, that incline was not that steep and not that long. I should have been able to get up there like a regular person.

I saw Argo last night with [livejournal.com profile] machupicchu - it was goooood. I agree with everything he said in his review. I had totally forgotten all those yellow ribbons all over everywhere during those 444 days. I mainly remember them after they lost all their perky hopefulness and got dingy and horribly sad. And how TV news started off every night telling us how many days the hostages had been hostages.

No swim class for me today. I'm going to take my MP3 player to the pool here close by and do my own class.

I am still seeing new details that I've never noticed before I had my cataracts removed. It shocks me every time. It is just so wonderful not to have to mess with glasses and see new stuff every day. I am so so so glad I went ahead and got the second eye done.

Panting Pauline... niiiiice. Great term :)

Feel better soon.

And those yellow ribbons... I haven't seen the movie but I sure do remember that! Yellow ribbons everywhere and Tony Orlando and Dawn enjoying their last 15 minutes burst of fame :)

when the hostages were happening, i was teaching at UMass and one of my students was from Iran... he came to office hours and said the stress was so bad (they were subject to a dragnet and had to go into post offices to register, gah) he wanted to put off the final exam... i had to say that unless he could say with confidence that the crisis would be resolved by the time of the makeup, he had to take the regular exam... he thought it over and took the final on time
