Burn the Sheets Kind of Virus/Mild Winter Woes

Yuk.............hubby came home from work with a nasty virus that he claims he picked up from relatives. He spent the entire weekend sleeping after a bad shift at work that I don't even want to talk about.

I slept in the recliner.

Someone told me offhand that the winter was just too mild to kill the viruses, which makes me worry about the direction we might be heading toward if there really is a climate change.

I've loved that we aren't having 6 months of snow and freezing temps, but not at the expense of having life come out of you from both ends out of nowhere.

I stripped the bed and washed everything in hot water, but then realized I had driven the same vehicle the same day without realizing I was touching his same contact surfaces. (the steering wheel)

All I can do is try not to breathe too deeply, kiss-kiss in the air, and wash my hands often.

Tell me, if winters keep getting milder, will viruses keep getting stronger?

wish I knew. The other option is for our immune systems to get stronger. Hope you don't catch it and that he gets over it soon.

I'm still hoping not to catch it, but he says it sneaks up on you.

Well, I hope the viruses don't keep getting stronger and I hope it moves on outta your house too.

hegemone: So far, so good! But a guy at hubby's work caught it from him!

This raises interesting questions about where copyright lines should be drawn, and if our legal process is good at handling these issues.

a 1'' porterhouse steak.
Sounds so good! We cook our steaks with onions cut up in the skillet. Maybe throw some steak fries in the oven or a potato in the microwave. As long as I have some steak sauce I am happy. I am hungry now, thanks to you! read the rest

There are always so many wonderful stories on news blurbs about people with disabilities who are leading more productive lives and more fulfilling (and happier) lives than others who have none. Most times I feel ashamed to be complaining about a back read the rest

I like rituals, too. They give you a sense that everything is ok and sort of "on schedule" in life. Every day of the week here with us has it's own "feel" because of what we do. I guess people have continued the tradition from the weekly "Saturday read the rest
