Wants and Wishes

         For the past week and a half I have had a rip roaring case of bronchitis.  Most of the day it involves some coughing and a lot of nose blowing. But come night, it becomes a force to be reckoned with. I can’t lie down because I cough so hard it feels like I will break a rib. I can’t sleep propped because my head lulls to the side and I awake after an hour with an ache in my neck. So, my WANT is to get over this quickly, so I can go back to cooking, and feeling on top of the world.
