And no, not because of the weather, which has been unusually mild. It's because my family just can not seem to get healthy.

Don't you know that the companies that make tissues and cold meds are loving this mess, though.

So sorry you've been having trouble! You have all my sympathy. And, um...while you are just lying in bed-lol- maybe you could think of something to write. : )

Just have to rag on you a little!
