Yes, I do have a cold...

...Dammit!

It was cold and windy on Tuesday morning (what else?)

Instead of going home for lunch, I went up to the Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi to buy next year’s Franklin Planner pages (always the optimist – that’s me!)

It was just starting to sprinkle as I made my way home after work. It’s supposed to rain until Friday with a possible accumulation of 2-3 inches! It looks like mulching up the leaves anytime this week will not be happening.

I putzed around after getting home. I did have a project to accomplish, but I didn’t feel like it. Spending all day blowing my nose seemed to have taken the starch out of me. Thankfully, Jake called so I could delay it a bit.

We caught each other up on work and stuff (mainly work). He said the temps there had been in the mid-eighties, but they are supposed to have a cold snap where the temps will only get into the 60’s. I offered to buy and send him some long johns so he can survive.

When we hung up, I kicked it into gear and washed the little downstairs entry-hallway. I figured it would be just getting off the fingerprints and pencil marks from my calculations on where to put the handrail. I was shocked (literally) at the amount of dirt that came off both the walls and the ceiling (and the “room” is less than four feet square). I had to change out the water five times!

My theory was the closeness of the entryway to the stove. But that’s just a guess.

I warmed up another one of the chicken cordon bleu rolls and more potatoes au gratin for dinner. It was still delicious. I watched a little TV and then went to bed at 11:30 PM.
