Some crazy person always says “Summer colds are the worst!”
Bah humbug! ANY cold is the worst! It doesn’t matter when it comes, a cold is a rotten thing to have to deal with. At least in the summer you could go out and bake in the sun.
Mother came down with a cold about ten days ago. I’ve been babying her, trying to get her to eat and to get up and move around. She missed her hair appointment last week, but she’s well enough to go to her appointment on Thursday. I can tell that she’s not quite over it, but she’s getting better.
Unfortunately, now I have her her cold.
Bah humbug!
I’m going to wrap myself up in my most comfortable clothes….and carry throat lozenges in my pocket, and have an endless cup of hot tea. And let myself be just a little bit grumpy. It’s about all I can afford to do. Life goes on, and there’s too much to do to take to my bed.
