I have a cold and with so much to do!!! I have to make cookies, fudge, and Christmas crackle. I have to wrap gifts. Still need to get a frame for my sons picture and get a card for my nana. I didn’t realize her aide was sending out Christmas cards on her behalf.

I slept until 11:30 today and I feel a little better. I woke up in the middle of the night and my throat hurt so bad I feared I might have strep throat. But I didn’t have a fever so I think it was just post nasal drip. I drank some emergen-c (a vitamin c drink that’s helped me in the past. I’m just hoping with rest that I can kick this cold in the *** before Christmas. I can’t go up to my grandparents house with a cold, my elderly grandfather will be there. A cold could easily turn into bronchitis or pneumonia for him.

So, that’s my story. Still struggling with smoking. I’ve got to come up with a battle plan. Basically I think I’m going to have to accept that I’m going to feel ****** for awhile. I usually push so hard against feeling bad. But accepting it might help me work through it.
