Warm Weather Cold

Pics.

Unbelievably, I hadn't been sick since last year's flu. Should've known the reprieve couldn't last. On Saturday evening, I heard an alarming number of people coughing in church, and, not for the first time, thought about the transmission distance of germ: it's something like 20 feet.

Sure enough, on Sunday afternoon I noticed a salty taste in my mouth, a sure sign of impending illness, ever since I was a small child. I dismissed it as salt in the drinking water. No kidding: I decided that the water softener or something else made tap water too salty, and refused to drink anything but bottled water. By Monday I was getting a sore throat, and by Tuesday morning, I had a full blown cold.

Fortunately, I travel with DayQuil and we picked up some more. Slept well last night.

About Me

My photo
The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
