Cold

It is cold outside and I have a cold.
Not a fun mixture.

I like winter when it is filled with powdery snow, blue sky, sunshine. And temps that make it pleasant enough to take your dog for a walk without the tip of your nose becoming numb.

Having a cold makes me feel out of it. My words and sentences sound different, slower and not as well thought out. I feel fuzzy and my mouth tastes weird.

Now you put the two together-cold and cold-and you get miserable.

I feel happy tonight to have a wood stove, a cup of tea, and a warm bed that I am going to get into....now!
