I spoke too soon ...

Winter came ... oh boy did it come! I've never seen so much bedding spread out over front yard foliage in my life! The residential desert now looks like the homeless have taken up camp in all front yards and on top of every bush throughout the land. People are trying to save every last stem & leaf as they use every last stained sheet and ugly blanket to protect their roses and such. Not me. I say survival of the fittest! If we lose a few leaves, so be it. They always come back. And I'm not showing the neighborhood how U-G-L-Y and mismatched my linen closet is ... because it may or may not be symbolic of my own wardrobe.

Anyway, now I have a cold ... a nasty cold ... a nasty and snotty cold. I hate to be cold and I really hate to have a cold! I miss Fall. I might even be looking forward to Summer. On the upside, I drank some TheraFlu last night ... and it worked. It was also successful in reiterating to myself that I could never be an alcoholic. I don't understand why you would continue to drink something nasty until it starts to taste pleasant. Weird.

So Happy New Year to everyone ... and may you all have plenty of Aloe in your tissues.
