It's Good to Be Back

The chest cold is mostly gone with a tiny bit of coughing that kept me and everyone else up for a couple nights until I gave it a dose of eucalyptus oil and some steam. Someone online suggested the warm mist humidifier and I'm sorry but I can't remember who, but I do want to say THANK YOU if you are reading this, because not only did it cure my cough, it has done wonders for my dry, scaly, winter legs that I scratch all winter long!

In other news we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my folks. My dad lives at this lake and it is a super place to run. So super, he's taken up running! GO DAD! As for me, I ran a couple times while we were visiting but haven't since. I've been doing yoga and some home workouts, but you all can keep your 17 degree running to yourselves. Unless Santa drops one of these babies down my chimney, I'm staying indoors until spring.

Christmas is just around the corner. I've got the tree up and the hall decked at last.

Our home is a place where the Holy and the Roly Poly mix and mingle to a jingling beat,

and there's a nice blanket of snow all winter long.

 I'm off to bake a special little big girl a birthday cake. I can't believe she's 10!
