2017 did not end very well...

This is why I've been silent since Christmas. Since I used to post almost every day, I felt I owe you an explanation.

A bit of bad luck, a bottomless stupidity (mine) brought me to hospital because of pneumonia. Hopefully, it was not too serious but being asthmatic, I was hospitalized.

Most of the time, I have no crisis and almost forget being asthmatic. I have problems if I get bronchitis.

It happened because I had a problem with the central heating which also provide hot water. So, instead of waiting a few hours until the plumber fix the problem (as any reasonable person would do), I took a cold shower.

Before I could dry my hair, the postman knocked at the door to deliver a package. At the same time, my neighbor was going for shopping, he requested me advice about a trip he is planning to Algeria, a country were I lived a few years and that I know very well.

I told him to come in but he said he was already late...One hour later, we were still talking. With cold wind in my wet hair...

It did not take very long, I had coughing, had fever and of course, being the queen of cretinism, I did not call soon enough the doctor. This is how I ended in the emergency room in the middle of the night on 29 december.

I would say the new year started better : isn't it great to start a year lying in bed ? (Well, abstracting med, oxygen tent,...)

Doctors finally freed me after 4 long weeks and I'm gladly back at home.

I have absolutely no idea of what happened or not this last month. I'm just checking the latest news, it seems nothing changed much...

I took a quick look to the editorial cartoons, I have enough for 2 or 3 threads...
