A Little Frosty Around the Edges

Along with most of my family, I started a cold 

Christmas day. While mine is mild, the younger ones 

and their mamas are suffering with flu 

and sinus infections. Bleh! and all that to this

seasonal assault on people's daily lives,

especially to the moms who, ill themselves,

must also see to the timely meds of their babies.

I spent the weekend curled up on the couch,

watching movies, doing crossword puzzles,

and working on a drawing/painting.

On Monday, I went out for breakfast and

to buy groceries. After being in a coolish apartment,

then the cold outdoors, I nearly fainted when

I went into the too-warm atmosphere of the

restaurant. I ate my breakfast, savored my coffee, 

then returned outside where, unbelieveably, 

I enjoyed the chill air of the morning.
