My nose did not start running right away when I woke up, and I managed to sweep the kitchen floor, moving the refrigerator back to where it belongs.  I had moved it to the other side of the kitchen because the electrical socket doesn't seem to be working, but it still isn't.  I have rigged up another system until the wiring is fixed.  At least the frij doesn't stick out into the middle of the room anymore.  I had made lasagna using the recipe on the box of lasagna noodles, and it's a good thing I did, since I haven't been able to cook with this cold.  The recipe made a huge pan-ful and it gets better every day. 

Another thing I wouldn't do is try to make out Christmas cards while snotting and sneezing all over.  Now that the worst of this cold seems to be over, I'm going to make them out today and get them in the mail tomorrow.  Although it's freezing rain outside right now, it's supposed to return to below zero temps tonight, with wind.  There's a huge pile of wood in here now, so we'll be ready for cold spells.  I've moved furniture upstairs into the spare bedroom to accommodate all the firewood.  It's dead pine, dead birch and dead oak.  We never take living wood for fires. 

I'm just being thankful that the worst of this cold is over, or seems to be.  I'm so well today, that I will put up my 2' Christmas tree on an end table.  That will be cheery. 

We watched a scary movie last night called "The Ruins" that was truly frightful.  Loved it.  It was almost believable.  And of course, Johnny Depp and the Oompaloompas on another channel.  One of my favorite movies.  Well, on to Christmas cheer.
