Finally Got Cold

Last week we had 50 and 60 degree temperatures most of the week. It cooled at night but it was November. December rolled in and brought heavy rains and finally the cold. It is quite the contrast. This morning it was 18 degrees. The other problem with drastic temperature changes like that is people start getting sick. My family has been coughing and hacking going on three weeks. My middle daughter started the week of the Ohio State - Michigan game and everyone has followed her into that abyss of the cold virus. I have managed to hold out but I think I have finally started my descent into the household of illness.

I do not mind the cold. Unless it is bitter cold, I do not wear a coat unless I am going to be outside for more than a few minutes. If it was between 50 and 60 degrees all year I would be just fine. I know that some day my circulation will go to hell and I will bundle up until July but until then I am content to stay a little cold. You can always put on a coat if you need to but at a certain point the civil authorities frown on nudity.

So I will wait out the day and see if my cold symptoms start to develop or if this is just a false alarm. I am praying that this is just sympathy symptoms for my family but as the tickle starts to worsen in the back of my throat and the coughing increases in frequency, I am beginning to doubt that theory. Time to hit the old pharmacy and see what works this time. Physician, heal thyself.
