(Cough, cough) (Hack, hack) …in my head and throat.
\nWhat’s with the cold season this year?! I caught a cold, possibly from my stepson or my sister, just after Elegante Mother’s open house, early in December. I was laid low for two weeks, when I needed to be shopping, and wrapping gifts, and decorating the house. I finally began to perk up about a week before Christmas, as the cold began to ebb.
\nI had a couple of days free of coughing, and then the cold came back with a vengeance! I can’t decide if the first cold went into hiding, or if I caught a second cold right after the first.
\nSaturday, December 30, and New Year’s Eve, I spent some time in the office working on the filing system for 2007. I typed labels for the files, and removed the 2006 files that were ready to be stored. I made labels for the binders for 2007. I packed up the 2005 binders for storage, moved the 2006 binders to the bookcase, and set the new binders up in the hutch next to the computer. I have three banker’s boxes of files to go to storage. This is all a first. I’d never have gotten all this done this early, if I hadn’t been too sick to be up and about. A little typing and filing was the best I could do.
\nSo….the Pollyanna in me would like to point out there’s a bright side to life, but the Scrooge in me is saying (in a MUCH louder voice) “BAH HUMBUG!!”
\nStay healthy! Avoid people like me who are coughing and hacking. Teach everyone you know to cough into the crook of their arm, and take your vitamin C on the off chance that it will help you dodge this cold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
