Well I still have my head cold or whatever it is that I have and Kathleen came down with the same thing a couple days ago. I have had mind for just about a week now and I am really ready to have it go away.
It is not that I am really sick, it is just that my nose and throat have a lot of mucus and at night my nose gets plugged up and then when I get up everything starts to drain and I cough to get it up and after a while my throat get sore. So for the last three or four days I have pretty much lost my voice.
I have been putting Vick's VaporRub on three or four time a day and before I go to bed; so I smell rather medicinal most of the time.
So since we were both not feeling well we did not go to our small group tonight. I thought that I might be able to make it tonight, but by 1530 I knew that I would not as my throat and ear were really hurting.
The temperature got up to the mid fifties today and so I went outside a little after 1000 and I finally made it back into the house around 1530. I felt pretty good while I was outside, or maybe I was just so glad to be outside that I did not notice I was feeling bad.
I got quite a lot done; I picked up all the left over lumber from putting the new back door in and also picked up the lumber under the fir trees from the bathroom remodel. I pulled all the nails out of the boards and then re-stacked the larger pieces and then put the small pieces into one of my old garbage cans. One of our neighbors has been picking it up so maybe this will allow him to take more at one time.
Tomorrow I see my arthritis and bone care doctor; this is my first visit so I am not sure what to expect. I am hoping that he will prescribe some water physical therapy for me so that I will be able to exercise and not hurt my joints. I would also like to be able to get some relief from the pain without the help of drugs.
Well, I am kind of tired, but it is a good tired from working outside for over five hours; so I think that I will call it a day and sit down and relax before going to bed.

I have heard that putting vics on the bottom, soles of your feet, then wrapping them up in warm socks is supposed to get rid of your cold faster...have you ever tried that?
No I have never heard of that before, but it might be a cure athletes feet!
