I liked your comment over on sholio's entry about Bill Maxwell being a one-person Whumptober card. He sounds great!
If asked to describe himself, Bill would probably tell you that he's a hard-headed, no-nonsense, by-the-book federal agent dedicated strictly to his job in defense of America and if he were right he would be completely intolerable, so it's just as well that he has a streak of marshmallow a mile wide where his co-protagonists are concerned and has more or less literally told his government to stuff it when it's a choice between his country or the fate of the world. Sometimes he is a conservative dinosaur and one of the neat things about the show is that it does not endorse him in this mode. More basically, he is brave, cranky, really not stupid even if he has to get out of the way of his own machismo for the audience to see it, and highly breakable—he hasn't finished an episode in traction yet, but it's not for lack of trying. He wears three-piece suits and has a wonderfully goofy snicker, not to mention a sarcasm reflex that's off the Geiger counter. His government-issue cars tend to have short and memorable lives. He is a disaster at admitting to having emotions about things even as said emotions are visible from space and I am desperately fond of him.
Ughh, okay, I will pray for bronchitis if it's better than alternatives--I guess the idea is that if it's bronchitis, the meds will clear it up?
I got two inhalers and a steroid rinse. Pneumonia would require antibiotics, which I would prefer to avoid if possible; so I am going to hope they will not be necessary.
I hear in the news about how there's very little flu about, because of everyone distancing and wearing masks, and yet somehow people do still end up getting things--you with the presumed bronchitis
I've gotten more than one cold this winter and it feels like cheating.
Anyway, be that as it may: here's hoping the medicine clears things up.
