under the weather

What began as a little allergy like thing has gone full blown upper respiratory illness for me now. I'm taking this medicine SG Pabron, which has ten active ingredients. I had to do a little research before I consented to try it. The funny thing about it is it's a packet of powder, you just dump it into your mouth. Mom likes it because it's easier for her to take than swallowing pills. I don't like tasting the medicine, but I'm managing to choke it down. It reminds me of some of the people in these old mystery programs we watch, taking paper packets of powders.

Onigiri, osuimono clear soup, and pickles

 

Here's a picture of me with B&R from our FaceTime last weekend
