Can’t kick this cold

Man, I’ve been stuffed up for almost a week! I just can’t seem to kick this cold or whatever it is. Every year there are more and more new strains of viruses and colds out there. Doctors have been overprescribing antibiotics for years which they say has allowed viruses to mutate into super bugs that we have no defense or cure for. Now being two days before Christmas, I’m not going to go off on some depressing diatribe about germs, bacteria and viruses, but I am going to tell you to just wash your hands often, as this is your best defense.

Yesterday the good looking one (the misses) worked from 7 until 3. We did drive her due to all the snow but today she’ll drive herself. It’s about 5 degrees outside right now and the high temperature between now and Monday the 26th, is supposed to be only in the mid 30’s. This means, yes we will have a white Christmas! The boys played hard yesterday doing flips into giant snow piles created from the neighbors shoveling their driveways. I had a bunch of phone calls and a few last minute errands that I needed to run so Uncle T took the boys to lunch and watched them for an hour, thanks!

Around 5:30pm, LOL (June) and her 66 year old son and daughter in law, who are here from Seattle until Christmas day, came up for a glass of wine. The misses did this really for June who likes to get out whenever she can. The boys each had a small present for her from the rock fair at school. She had already given each of them a few things like a book light for their rooms and a couple of other small things I forget. She gave me a black scarf I think must have been her husbands as it seems old. The misses received some chinese dolls and $100! She’s a very nice lady who’s doing quite well for 90 years old and would be lost without the misses. Bunkie loves the misses as much as June and it’s almost been a year now that she’s been giving him his shot twice daily. I don’t know if I could do this day in and day out like the misses does, but she knows the little dog would probably die without her. I’m sure there’s a special place in heaven for the misses.

I’m supposed to work today at my friends shop for a few hours if I have time. The biggest issue is I don’t have anyone to watch the boys. The oldest has been invited to Jennifer’s Grandma’s house to go sledding this afternoon so maybe I can find a play date for the youngest one. If not, I’ll take them with me.

Time to get some more coffee and see if the paper is here. We need to call Grandma Dixie today and see if she made it to Palm Springs. We hope everyone is doing well and all set for Christmas. I’ve been making it a point to say Merry Christmas to everyone instead of Happy Holidays, just my little way of rebelling. So, ho ho ho, have a great day and we’ll see you tomorrow! God Bless
