Or fresh vegetables either fir that matter

Keith's mother cooked canned veggies and he didn't eat them. Once we were married and I introduced him to fresh veggies and Birds Eye frozen he began eating more than I ever did.

Except my dad grew tomatoes every year so those were fresh

Fresh fruit.

The head cold I came down with on Sunday is clearing out nicely. I shall, however, have to replenish my inventory of Robitussin for the inevitable coughing phase that follows. Sometimes I’m lucky and it doesn’t follow, and it would sure be nice if this was one of those times, since I haven’t felt any disturbance at all in that department.

No lingering cough vibes! You really don't want that these days.

I am so proud of the j-school kids at UNC. The most brilliant headline on the virus’ effect at their school. And it got almost immediate results.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe seven hours of sleep, maybe a bit less - was up at ten-thirty and naturally dealing with a plethora of e-mails.

We had a big dust storm that blew through the city last night. No rain here, except for about ten drops.

New Moon in Leo:

The sun is already in outgoing Leo, and the new moon joins in this exciting fire sign’s positivity today. Opportunities for second chances and new beginnings are everywhere, and self-expression is at its peak.

Woo hoo!

I kept waiting to see the postscript that the newspaper was closed by the school or the staff suspended. Glad to see that wasn’t the case.

Yep. I can just imagine going out and hacking my way through a supermarket. “No really, this is normal, it’s nothing, trust me, I always do this, I’m fine (cough cough)...”

I have been coughing since November. Since all this began if I let a cough slip in public I receive dirty looks. I am able to control it and it isn't bad anymore.

It is currently 108 degrees in the Oaks of Sherman - absolutely ridiculous for this time of year. Hopefully it will stop and sooner than later - air conditioning is on as there is no choice. I also suspect that the filter needs changing and I've asked Grant to pick one up.

Update: The co-worker was at work today. Her car wasn't in the parking lot, which is why we thought she was out today. She was out yesterday.

So I don't know if it was a cold or what.

I agree, BK. It's too darn hot.
