It's Cold and Rainy

What happened the tropical temperatures from last week? What did I come home to? I had avoided a flu shot because I hate them. I get achy and cranky for a day or so afterwards. But coming home from vacation we saw that everyone had "the Crud". Yes, that is "Crud" with a capital C. So, I made appointments and we went and got flu shots today. I came home, fought with the dog who decided that going outside in the rain was a bad idea, and made a big pot of chicken florentine soup and a monster greek salad. That with a good bit of foccacia bread was dinner. The soup was warm and good and made us feel better immediately. And then, the psuedo-crud (lower case C) kicked in and I passed out for about 2 hours. Now I should be sleeping, but instead I am up preparing to watch one of the TiVOed episodes of Digital Future from CSPAN. Oh well, maybe I can refine my domestic goddess skills by knitting some during the program.
