Blues

Thursday, February 23, 2023

My head cold over several days has gained momentum. It began as nose dripping and offered too little warning. Last night the sniffling blossomed. Today, my whole body aches and I’ll call in sick, not go to work.

Regardless, today’s weather encourages staying home. This morning brings new snowing and a temperature of 13 degrees. So, I will feed the outside animals, bring the dogs inside, and then snuggle under warm blankets and fall asleep.

Recently, I quit masking in public. That wasn’t a good idea, so I will start masking while working. I constantly wore masks during and after the pandemic without catching colds. This bout of weeping nose with physical discomfort highlights the advantage of taking preventive measures.

Dear Friends: Have a good day, and we will meet again on a cheerier side. Diana
