Happy New Year or whatever

I have spent the last (let me count...) 22 days with this bloody cold. I caught it from my niece and nephew on 12/24. I literally spent an entire day with two snotty noses. Mucus everywhere! My body valiantly tried to fight it off and failed on 12/29. I think the sudden cold snap also conspired against me. I am a seat heaters are on if it is 55 kind of a person. My body simply is not used to (nor should it be!) days of 30 degree highs. I live in the subtropics for a very good reason. Stupid climate change.
And stupid people who do not understand how global warming works.... yes, it makes it colder! It may be confusing since the term is "global warming" however, it is actually very simple. Warmer temps mean melting ice. Melting ice means shifting cold patterns in the sea which means shifts to the weather patterns. We are experiencing unprecedented extremes in temps. Not good. I hate being cold. I hate having a cold.
They make me grumpy. Very grumpy.
