Well, sports fans, the cold bug finally caught up with me. I started feeling like it was coming on when I went out to eat Friday night. I had Mexican…bean and cheese dip with a beef taco. What a holy mistake! I was up half the night regurgitating foul tasting acid laden “crap” from my stomach that didn’t take a shine to being processed properly.

I managed to sleep until about 7:30 after waking up several times during the night. The day yesterday went okay in the morning, then I began to feel bad again about mid day. It helped that the sun was shining all day yesterday! By evening I knew I needed to take some decongestant again. I put on a pot of pinto beans to boil and settled down for the evening. After they were done I placed them in the fridge and after taking some red syrupy stuff I retired.

I slept okay except for the normal bathroom visits during the night and each time I tried to get a cup of water or juice to drink before laying back down. This morning my head and sinuses are all plugged up and I have an upset stomach…I suppose from the syrupy red goop.

Luckily I have this week off for Thanksgiving and will continue to medicate and eat soup and drink juice and water until it passes.

I am going over across town on Tuesday to spend the night at my one daughter’s house so I can ride with her and her family to see my other daughter in Virginia for the holiday feast on Thursday. I hope my cold is gone by then!
