Two Weekends – Sick
I mentioned last weekend that I spent most of Saturday asleep. That included a fever of sorts – freezing cold (temperature was 97), then wake up a sweaty mess. This weekend it’s a head cold (or allergies). I swear every time I turn around I’m taking pills of a different kind. When does it get […]
