All I Want For Christmas...
...is a better immune system.
On the afternoon of a very promising girls night, it started with a sore throat. A couple hours later I had progressed to a back ache, headache, and sniffly nose. Grr.
So instead of hanging with my girls, eating Chinese food and partaking of amusing DVDs, I am home in my own germ-ridden bubble of contagion. I decided it was better NOT to share the love. Now I have the whole evening before me, and it would probably be a good idea to do a little cleaning. I haven't even gotten around to unpacking from my trip to Connecticut (aside from the essentials--I assure you, dear Reader, that my toothbrush has been returned to the bathroom and used on a regular basis since my return) and there are books piled everywhere. My kingdom for a bookshelf--and an apartment to put the bookshelf in!
At least I can still breathe through my nose, which means I will be able to avoid the dreaded "disgusting dry mouth when waking" problem--unquestionably the most terrible of the cold symptoms. That gift, I think I will save for Christmas Eve.

Tonight in church, I will ask Baby Jesus to perform a Christmas miracle by removing the possibility of you waking up Christmas morning with ""disgusting dry mouth when waking" problem".
Amen.
