Cold, as in got one

Got my hair cut Thursday, and that always makes me feel less insolated from the weather. It was cold and windy that morning, too. In the afternoon, after Kim came home from work, we went for a walk through the neighborhood. I could feel the cold air mingling between my hairs. I thought, put your jacket hood up, but no it would be alright without (and less geeky). Besides, I'm saturated with vitamins and I feel very healthy this winter.

Here are some interesting mail-boxes on our walk...




As we got further up the hill, the wind seemed to get stronger and colder. Coming back down was very cold on my ears. And I had that little tickle in the back of my throat. In the morning I still thought nothing of it, but I was sneezing frequently. That happens sometimes when I am not coming down with a cold. It does. Friday evening I definitely had that feeling of slight burning and irritation in the back of my throat. I launched into my Cold Remedy. I believe I've averted the worst of it, but whenever I'm optomistic about my health I jinx it. It has felt very mild today, but definitely there. I scraped my errands plans and napped with a heating pad.

Got up in the early afternoon. Warm enough to take a shower and go shopping. Felt good to be active.

Stopped by the Drug Store and bought some cough drop and throat lozenges. And 12-hour Sudafed.

Wore my jacket hood while walking around.

Our kitchen already had most of the ingredients that I needed for tonights menu. I picked up small turkey breast filet. I roasted the turkey with chopped onions and some stock. I made brown rice with edamome and red bell peper and herbs de provence. And I made creamed spinach and broccoli, which was a first-time for me. Used soy milk, came out very good and tasty.

I treated myself to Breyers no-sugar-added ice cream and sugarless chocolate syrup. The milk will probably mess up my sinus. I've been drinking cup after cup of green tea all day, I need a little sweet treat thanks!

It's hard to photograph food and having it look appealing... at all. Feeling very sleepy and it's only 8:30 pm. A message from my body. I only seem to come down with something on the weekends. So stay warm and dry!
