February 19, 2013 – I’m sick!
I used to get colds fairly often when I was younger, now they are relatively rare – thankfully! I haven’t had the flu in longer than I can remember.

I’ve never smoked in my life, except for all that second hand smoke I’ve inhaled over the years because friends smoked. I’ve never understood the appeal of sucking horrible chemicals into one’s lungs and then sharing them with others as one exhales. I went out with a smoker or two when I was younger…yuck, hated that. They always had this stale smell about them, very unattractive. But whatever, I didn’t break up with anyone over cigarettes, I didn’t abandon friends …
