Nothing like waking up in a nest of blankets and used kleenex. Mmm, used kleenex.
So I stopped at the grocery store on the way to work to get cold medicine, as a freakish amount of snot wants to leave my face right now. Another snot exodus, and also this evil cold seems to have settled in my eyes. I was shuffling along, wiping at my eyes, sniffling, and trying not to sneeze on other shoppers. A couple of employees actually stopped me to ask if I was okay. "I'mmb siiick" I would moan, and they would back away slowly, eyes wide.
After my purchase, walking across the cold gray parking lot, I noticed how very very red and warm my new scarf is. Everything in the world was gray or a cold grayish green, the dull frigid colors of a January morning, except for my scarf. It reminded me a little of the girl in the red dress.
I can't explain how red it was this morning, poking out from under my dark corduroy jacket. Two big buttons, and then a long flaming scarf.
Why am I babbling about that? Oh.
Because sometimes I feel that red.
Now I am going to finish my work day, under a Benadryl Cold-induced stupor.
It is relaxing. To say the least.
everything always works out
