Cold, Wet and Miserable
Yes, it's a very British thing to moan about the #weather. But I'm going to do it anyway. It has been MISERABLE here today. No other word for it. It has been raining all day on and off, and the barometers in my knees are telling me they're Not Happy. It's

Another Sunrise, Another Lesson
The sun had not yet risen when I left home to come to school this morning. Even now, it is just finding its way above the horizon. December is doing a good job of hiding behind unseasonably warm temperatures, but the hours of darkness we are enduring gives

Why, Germ, Why
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a germ as "a small living thing that causes disease." (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/germ) I define it a little differently. Germ - an evil creature of minute size who, when joined by millions of

How The Coconut Rescues The Cold!
Hello Persona Peeps! Well, if you have been wondering where I have been in the last four days, it is because muggins has been ill with flu and a cold! It all happened on the Friday night before I wrote my last post regarding the killer-reveal on

-4c You Say
I knew when I arrived at work after an hour of being on my #bicycle that it was #cold because I couldn't feel my fingers even though I had two pairs of gloves on and my gears had stopped working with two miles left to go, but I had no idea that it was minu

Cold And Wet Ride Home
One of the massive downsides of #cycling to work and back every day is when it is cold and wet, and boy was it a cold ride home in the rain tonight. Monday and Tuesday this week were super cold days, but as they were dry the twenty mile round trip was very

It was bound to happen! I am getting sick.
Yesterday, my husband, sons and I went to visit my step daughter and her little children. My step daughter is my husband's daughter from his first very brief marriage and she has two kids ages 13 and 18 months. They are SO adorable! We celebrated

No furnace! I'm freezing my butt off!
It's in the single digits here as far as temperature and...our furnace decided now would be a good time to die. We are getting by with just a couple of space heaters and the stove for heat. We called everywhere and they are backed up and can't get t

Here Comes the Freeze!
We have skated through November and December with pretty decent weather here in the Midwest. Granted, there have been some crazy up and down temperatures, but considering what Illinois winters used to be like (snow, snow and more snow) it hasn’t been

Seems Like Our Christmas will be Rainy or a Stormy one
Well it is a dark #dreary day. #Cold like how Christmas should be but the winds are kind of strong and it has been raining on and off. According to the #weather #report another "super typhoon" is coming. I wish they would pick #summer or in the middle of t

Yay! I Caught a Cold!
Yeah, my title is complete sarcasm. Yes, I caught a cold. No, I'm not excited about it.I probably caught it days ago since the munchkin we babysit has been sick most of the week, but I really started to feel it on Friday. I walked to the post office and ba

Cold or no cold, the crates have to be sorted
After finally managing to fall asleep around 2am, I woke up at 9.30am feeling reasonable. Still sneezing and sniffing, but reasonably confident that I was capable of more than simply sitting in bed getting a numb bum typing all day. So I put a wash in to

Yes, it is warmer in my unheated house than in my aircooled office...
Yes, it is #warmer in my #UNHEATED house than in the super-airchilled office where I spend my days. This morning I put my #fleece on by 9.30am. 10.30-11.00am is when my #blood sugar begins to drop and I always get cold, but this was worse than that. Lunch

Back to Taking Echinacea
I seems I was going full steam ahead a few days ago, but yesterday and today I've been dragging my sorry behind around. I've gotten a few posts written and done some interacting. But it's been such slow going the last bit! Yes, I know I've been fighting o
