I have decided that trying to look for motives or reasons is pointless. The bottom line is that she chose not to trust me. OK, I can understand that, the computer told her I was lying. I think I have finally figured out the cause (opening Match emails as I go through the mail to delete them), but I don't think I need to try to explain that. If she could spend as much time together as we did, and be that quick to not trust me, well, I can't help it.
The cough.... it's weird. It stays around year 'round, though I am pretty sure allergies are involved. I can go for hours with no coughing, then need to bring something up and sound like (and feel like) I am dying for a few minutes while that happens. It's like what would be a normal throat clearing turns into a major production. I think I have asthma like symptoms as a result of Valley Fever, but it will never be proven one way or the other. But treating it as asthma, and being a little more aggressive, seems to, maybe, be working. I hope so!
