Christmas shopping worse with a cold
I’m further behind in my Christmas shopping than I wanted to be… there’s some stuff I am very happy with but other aspects are a bit lacking (or, in fact, completely lacking). I should really be out scouring the shops right this minute, but I have pounding headache and a dribbling nose so I don’t feel up to it. I was out earlier this afternoon and just couldn’t stay the course.
Where did my cold come from? Well, I’m blaming my work mate, Colin. He was off work last week but came to the work night out on Friday with symptoms galore.
But there’s nothing I can really do about that. Colds during winter are just something we have to get used to. I just hope I’ll be better by Christmas, if not tomorrow. This evening we’ll be preparing stuff for our visit to our parents’ houses on the twenty-fifth. There’s a few nice recipes we’re going to have a look at this evening.
