Well. it always has to be someone [View all]

There's a long-standing joke in my family that someone is always sick on holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. My daughter had strep on Thanksgiving, so I guess it was my turn to be sick for Christmas this year. And it's a besut, too...some kind of viral thing with cough, ears plugged up, runny nose, the works. Yesterday I didn't even get our of bed and couldn't indulge in one of my favorite sick day pleasures, which is reading. Today I am vertical but can't eat---food tastes yucky. So much for Christmas dinner! I will probably spend the day on the couch. The only thing I know for sure is that it's not flu or covid as I had my shots for both, so here's a big razzberry to RFK Jr. and may rats spit in his plum pudding!
