Cold Season

Ya, it never fails, this is the time of year when colds hit because we have this back and forth weather.  Rain, sunshine, slush (maybe white stuff), temps in the 30s, then the 40s and wham 60s...we dress inappropriately and catch cold -- hello people, it is November, the days of shorts and short sleeve tops are over -- a light jacket and hear gear is now necessary.

I know, I hate to wear a hat too but come on, we all know heat escapes via the head and we need to keep heat inside our bodies not allow it to escape. So don some silly ass hat, the goofier the better and wear it.  Everyone else will be, so you won't look totally stupid.

Hey, did you know turning up the tunes and dancing for 20 minutes is a great way to burn 104 calories and relax the body, and mind?  Sweet Mama, let's dance...but please, close the curtains first...thanks.

I know he doesn't look sick but poor little boy caught his first cold, runny nose and fever, and wham off to the doctor. Temp of 102 and an ear infection.

So while Mommy works today and Daddy attempts to fix the boiler and do some household chores, Grammy has her boy and we got the humidifier going full steam and he is currently napping and looking much better today too.


So, it is Saturday and this year, my son, who finally is able to go to deer camp after his rough last year experiences (Mayo Clinic for treatment of follicular lymphoma and then open heart surgery)-- has his son with him. This is a first for Alex and he is dressed just like Dad, orange hat and coat!  He won't get to shoot anything, too young, but he can sit in deer stands and learn how to be quiet and wait for the deer (this should prove interesting).  It's a great bonding experience and I know my son is loving every minute of this adventure.  Back home his wife and daughter are having a Mother/Daughter outing at the community center...wow....the fun just never stops, does it!!!

Hey, its gonna reach 60 degrees today, so why don't ya don a hat and jacket and get outside for a little while...that fresh air is the best thing in the world for all your ailments.
