the verdict

Collin's nose does not appear broken, as the swelling goes down. He's says it's still tender if bumped, but that's it. Thank goodness.

I did spend most of Sunday in bed, but I'm still feeling crummy. So we're taking it easy today. Getting back into the groove of school and such. But the boys will be doing the work.

I do have to go feed animals, which entails carrying water buckets, but I'll just take it slow and easy.

Our ground is covered in one massive sheet of ice, everywhere. It's really treacherous. Brent tried to get out of the drive this morning and he got stuck, took him over an hour and a half to dig out. YUCK! The Sahara desert is looking pretty good right now. We're supposed to have windchill temps of -25, I think 125+ temps sound really good!

I do enjoy the winters here and I keep reminding myself that I'd be much happier if I could just get healthy. I did take some oregano yesterday and am off to take it again today. It's supposed to be really good for combating respiratory stuff, so we'll see. But getting it down is a whole nother story!

Have a good day, and if you're temps are positive today, ENJOY them!
