118.2

I was up by 6 so I could walk before water aerobics, but there was a note in my email that it was cancelled because the pool heater is broken. Both disappointed and relieved at the same time ( don't like being cold).

Yesterday we had a good time playing golf with our friends. I actually did okay for me (which isn't saying much). We finished in the middle of our division with a net score 4 under par. Not too shabby. It was chillier than expected though because even though the sun was bright and it was around 70, there was a brisk north wind especially as the afternoon went on. Thank goodness I had brought a jacket to wear. Have I mentioned that I hate being cold?

Today not much on the agenda other than the furniture delivery and perhaps a food store run. Maybe I will sit by the pool if it is warm enough. Seems like a long time since I have been in a bathing suit.

Have a magnanimous Monday!

Feeling slightly better today. Still clogged and sneezing. Hoping tomorrow is better still.

So sorry it is dragging on!

CC, have you tried a dehumidifier? Dry air can make it really difficult when you're congested and coughing.

"Have I mentioned that I hate being cold?" Giiirrl, same!

Like CC I feel a little better each day, but man, this thing just won't go away. New symptoms are puss on the remnant of my left tonsil (I had them out in grad school) and very hoarse voice. I think I will lose it if I keep talking. Weird thing is my throat really doesn't hurt. Still have a lot of congestion and a little headache from the congestion. Thinking because of the length of this illness, it might be more than just a common cold but still probably nothing that can be done for it.

Seems like a lot going around. I would think after a few days it just has to run its course (seems like most medications work only in the initial stages).

Agree! I will only go in if I completely lose my voice or if I get pink eye, which may be next as my eyes are more watery than usual.

DH seems to have developed a sinus infection so has contacted his doctor.

New (to me) cabinet in place:

Perfect for your space. Love it.
