I'm sorry to hear you have a cold. It didn't come from us. We are fine.
I have a list of things that we do when we feel the first twinges of a cold. Last winter I started to get a cold & immediately went to my list. I was already feeling better by day 3 & well on the mend by day 5. Friends who got the same thing were coughing up gunk and miserable (with sinus infections & bronchitis) 2 weeks later.
If you are interested, I can send you the list.

UGH! So sorry to hear you're under the weather. Take a couple hours off, snooze a bit, drink some hot tea and then get your butt to work!

Well it sounds to me that the Move and change in your Environment has caught up with ya....the Air is different where ya are in Texas than where you were in Colorado and the body has some adjustments to acclimate....

Sorry about being sick, that stinks. Since I don't work in a school any more I seldom get sick, but Airborne is my 'go to' whenever I feel like I might be getting a cold or I am around someone that is. Hope you feel better soon, you have to get ready for those goats.

Hope you start to feel well soon

When ever we get sick there is nine of us so.It takes weeks before every one is better. One time 2 of us got the flu, as soon as one of us got better the others would come down it was 3-4 before any of us were completely better.

When I was teaching I would get sick every vacation. Going from crazy busy to actual "downtime" it all caught up with me and I'd get sick. Perhaps you need to relax for a second and your head is forcing you to do it!

So sorry that you are feeling cruddy. Nothing like a head cold to make you miserable while looking out the window at all the things you'd rather be doing. GET WELL!

So last night the cold moved deep down in my chest. Felt it all the way up into one ear this morning. Hacked most of it up this morning. Found some left over antibiotics from the last deep chest cold I got and have been using them. It's helped. Expect it will be mostly gone by the end of the weekend. Have had to close the house up at night the past couple of nights as the temp has fallen into the 40s. Tonight it's supposed to be down to 41. The first cold night I didn't catch it in time and had to turn the heat on for a bit to get the inside temp from the upper 50s back to the upper 60s. Mid 60s in here right now and that's OK. I have the one bedroom window right above my head cracked just a bit for fresh air. They say that helps a cold, and my down bed cover keeps me plenty warm.
So I was scratching Mel behind the ears and felt a bump... Hmmmm digging a little proved it to be his first tick. It had recently attached but had not started swelling yet. It has obviously been removed. I have to guess he picked it up the last time I let him outside the backyard when we walked the back pasture. He has a lot of fur acreage to check but I haven't found any others yet
The cooler weather hasn't bothered him really. He hasn't started filling in his winter coat yet but has started eating again. He has himself a foot deep hole dug over beside the fence and he lays down in that all curled up most of the night. He can see the back field and up the driveway from there. He does get up every now and again and walk around the back of the house to check the other side. He has another smaller hole dug next to the heat pump, then his day time lounging sand box right below the deck under the bradford pear tree next to the deck.
Tomorrow is a final relaxation day of football, then Monday I get serious about outside work around here. Gotta start laying out pastures and cross fencing and run in shelter locations, mowing yard and fields, marking out where water lines need to be buried and run to hydrants... all that good kinda stuff.
