I’m surprised to hear you say that I am coughing very badly, because I have been practicing all night.” John Philpot Curran

Well I am down but not yet out, However, I may be losing the Cold War.  Somewhere, I picked up a bug not unlike the monster above.  I am coughing, choking and sneezing a storm.  The mucus family has taken up residence in my body and
is sending invitations to the housewarming.  Gwennie is delighted as there are tissues to rip apart in waste baskets that she can reach with her long pointy muzzle. Totem has discovered that I am not a comfortable lap to sit on or snuggle with and jumps off my lap or the bed in disgust. Mr BC has learned that I don't find him as funny when I don't feel good and the guest bedroom is the place to be when I start hacking in the middle of the night. He decided to start out there tonight.  I am a fuzzy purple footed flu monster. The problem is that even though I will be feeling better in a week, my sleep and that of the rest of the family will be disturbed until Spring.

Repinned from Childhood...A THING OF THE PAST...and it's NOT where I thought I left it... by Kayola Skinner

As a Baby Boomer, I also have the distinction of being a kid right in the middle of the Cold War.  I remember we practiced duck and cover in elementary school, but it was more fun than worrisome.  I really did not become aware of nuclear holocaust until 1962.
