<p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Maybe I don't have a cold. 
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">After whining like a little baby early yesterday morning I ended up having a really productive day.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Even ate some of the most delicious food I've had in a long while.  (Working all day doesn't usually include a lunch break.) I'm still thinking about that Thai style salmon with basil and ginger. Heavenly!
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Tackled a project I've been putting off for over a year and started a realistic to do list.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">In the afternoon, I found time to sit down and really enjoy the pomegranate my mom bought me for Christmas. (It was a nice addition to her gift.)
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I was beginning to like this whole New Year thing.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But then this morning I woke up feeling like a truck hit me with sniffles again and some sort of cough I cannot understand.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Maybe I just have a morning cold.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Either way, when all I wanted to do was relax at home, this morning I headed down with Natalie to see Dear Edwina.     
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I told her about it the second we were given tickets and didn't want to disappoint her.  Especially now I have been making a great effort to spend more significant one on one time with each of the kids.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">So to the musical we went. Where she whispered "Can we come back tomorrow?" during the song "Intermission".
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Flurries started on the way home to wait for my mother and grandmother to take Natalie to lunch.  (Natalie requested their lunch take place at Uno's so she could make a pizza! Yes I know we usually make pizza at home. But with school still on Christmas Break she didn't want to miss out on "Friday pizza lunch" … and no, she didn't want to go to a regular pizzeria either.)
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I decided to crash their lunch with Luke.  He made a pizza. I was so proud. He was in a mood though. He refused to take off his coat and hat.  He probably had a long day.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And now that it's close to midnight and I've had a long day, my throat is starting to hurt again. And those sniffles seem to be returning.
</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Maybe I do have a cold.
