Brrr!!!

It's OK...winter's almost over. Punxsatawney Phil didn't see his shadow, so winter's almost done! I feel better. Hasn't it been crazy cold?! Here in West Texas, it finally made it above freezing after about 80 hours of sub-freezing temperatures. This "monster storm" has served to remind me how glad I am that I don't live any farther to the north than I do.

I left work early yesterday with a fever that was accompanied by a headache, body ache and sore throat. I don't know if it was just from working out in the cold for two days or something else, but I stayed home from work today and slept until after lunch. I should be doubly protected from the flu, since I took the flu shot in October and then a course of Tamiflu last month. Anyway, I feel a little better now, but not a lot better. We'll see how it's going tomorrow...

Monday's visit marked the beginning of Cycle 22 on this drug. We hoped our stuff at the clinic would move fast so that we could get out of town as quickly as possible and try to beat the cold front home. It went smoothly, and we got a pretty good jump on the weather. On the way home, we watched the swing from 78˚ to 38˚ in a very short period of time. It was apparent that it was going to be quite a wintry blast.

February has several dates with significance to me. I'll go into some detail about it later...

We are continually thankful for all of the support we have from our friends and family. We love all of you...
