Thank you, Ginger! I wasn't keen on running a line up three stories, nor on creating a hole in the side of my house, even if sealed. Even if I go with these guys, I think I'll skip that part.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Tom, When I have a bad chest cough that starts every time I lie down, I use every pillow in the house to keep me as propped up as possible. I find that gives me some relief.

You may decide it needs to be done, but I think it would take an installer with who gave you a better discussion of pros and cons. One question is whether these guys will do a good job of flushing if they're uncomfortable with it.

Tom, Delsym doesn't work for me but Theraflu often does. And an ambien to sleep through it.

Would a bit of old fashioned booze work, Tom?

The status is NOT quo.
I second the call for codeine cough syrup. It saved me when I had pneumonia. If you can't see a doctor right away, I also suggest trying rubbing Vicks vapor rub on your chest before bed. So sorry you're feeling so awful, Tom. It sounds like you need to see a doctor soon if possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't make it all the way through art class today, but it was easier to leave because the regular teacher wasn't there (the one with whom I have an "I'm awesome" and "treat me like I'm special ed" understanding going with), and the sub kinda ignored me, and I'm needy. Also, I felt like crap.
But, I think I finished my drawing, so that's good. And the sub instructor did say "But you went to art school, right?" so that's kinda not sucky, for a comp sci grad to hear. I mean, unless it's from the IT manager. Then it would suck.
(Good god, if I *had* gone to art school, I wouldn't want to imagine the dimensions my current art anxiety block would be--either it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad, or it would be crippling. And, I have my suspicions...)

Well, armageddon may have arrived. The local news is showing a current temp in Gary, Indiana, of 207 degrees.
(Weatherlady assures us it's a sensor issue, but I am skeptical.)
