I hope that cough and ear get better soon so you don't have to venture out. |
I remember that winter. I was 13. Probably one of my first winters where I can remember the windchills getting that cold...and being the typical 13yr old, I didnt want to wear a coat to school. My mom made me do it anyways.
At least you werent here for the blizzard of 1975, that storm would have made you run back to Mississippi. You'd have gotten off the plane (stepped out of the car) and taken one look at an Omaha Winter and said "Screw this! and turned around. Almost made my mother (who was born in Bay Springs, MS) leave my dad to go back to warmer weather.
Me, I'd rather take my chances with a blizzard or a tornado that move to the South where I have to deal with hurricanes, or to California and have to worry about earthquakes. Nebraska weather isnt so bad...as long as I have heat/and or air conditioning (depending on the weather) and an internet connection and a steady supply of chocolate, I'm a happy camper.
If my internet goes down, at least I have my Kindle and my cellphone (can get internet on both)
I'm going to go take a shot of Delsym and try to stop coughing my lungs out. My cold is trying to make me cough up my spleen.
