He hasn't had a cold in three years. It's no wonder he doesn't quite know what to do with it. Yeah... three years of public school and he hasn't had a cold until now, I guess we're doing something right. And, of course, he's over it in two days, and John and I are still slogging through it. With all my lung medications, for the first time in a decade, I'm not going right to bronchitis from a head cold. I'm impressed. Lots of Cold-eze, Airborne, hot tea, and liquids as well as a nap now and then all seem to be helping as well. It's good to not be too stressed.

Friday we're taking off for Seattle for just the weekend and Monday and Tuesday. I suppose I shall keep missing the rain as the weather there is supposed to be clear and hot. Ah well, can't have everything. It's such a short visit we'll probably do another, longer one in the Spring.
