I am feeling really puny this morning with congestion and probably a fever. I barely made it out the door to get in a mile after coughing so much last night, thinking that maybe it was starting to break up. It’s another beautiful day here at Hilton Head, so my plan is to simply stay away from others but get some sunshine. If it’s not Covid, it’s certainly a bad cold that no one deserves to have. Breathing is difficult and my head aches. I can’t remember the last sick day that kept me home. It’s now approaching six years since I retired and nearly fourteen years of running every day, so I’ve been fortunate to stay healthy. 

It does not seem right to be feeling poorly when lounging on the beach, and I’m trying hard to not feel sorry for myself. We have no plans today in winding down this extensive road trip and will be home in a few days. We’ve been on the go for 20 some days now and it’s obviously taken a lot out of me. My computer is also acting as sluggishly as I am, as it too has a stubborn virus. It had been working fine here in Hilton Head after road woes of its own. Earlier in the trip, my work was not being saved properly, so I had to constantly restart and rewrite to share my thoughts. 

We had dinner last night at Nectar because we couldn’t find Holy Tequila. They are both part of an extensive restaurant group on the island called SERG. All of them are included in our resort credit, so it’s a difficult choice where to go each night. Two of them we ate at seven years ago. All Yall’s Bar and Grill is our only nearby lunch spot, unless you want to feast on Dippin’ Dots or Haagen Dazs – I Wouldn’t Mind!
