Spring Colds, Clean Sheets

There's nothing worse than having a cold, no matter what time of the year it is.  Last week, I caught a doozy!!  

Usually I just plow through work, cold or no cold.  If its bad or catchy, I wear a mask, but I still keep working.  After all, my theory is I can get paid for work, or stay home, but it usually doesn't change the symptoms of a cold. 

Last week, the coughing was so bad, I called in sick.  A week later, and I still have some lingering coughs.  Thankfully, its better. 

But today,  after being sick for a week, its clean sheets days.  After I was my sheets, I dry them until they're just a tad damp.  I love stretching them across the bed damp. I turn on the overhead fan, and by bedtime they are not only dry, they feel crisp as if they've been ironed!  And yes,  I'm old enough to remember when sheets were the old type of cotton where they wrinkled badly, and mom ironed them.  But who has time for that now?? Not me!  

So here i am, thankful my cold is abating and enjoying my crisp, fresh sheets!

Sweet dreams!

Fitbit Humor

I wear my Fitbit every day, since 2015.  Every now and then, 
it captures something .... odd.

Today, there was an overstock recall on some ladies' undies.  I had a huge shopping cart full (there were 211 items).  Each one has to be scanned and boxed individually because of the different UPCs. 

When I got home, my Fitbit app congratulated me on a 22 minute swim!! Um, I was at work, no way I was swimming.  Thats when I realized that my movement of reach in cart, pick up item, scan and place in box must have seemed repetitive enough that it seemed I was swimming!!  Lol 

Some days, its a little strange  ... but ok!!
