So put up your hand if you have had a cold this year  

To tell the truth, I don't get them that often, but this year wearing a mask and avoiding other people as much as I have, I never thought anything unusual about it. Then Thursday came . I woke up on Thursday AM and had a headache and stuffy nose. The headache seemed to be right in my sinuses. Not having any other symptoms other than the occasional cough, I didn't feel I was on the road to COVID. Thank god!! Well two days later, after lots of water, some cold meds to dry the sinuses and no cough syrup, I slept most of today  

I actually feel pretty good So was it stress and exhaustion from work? Who knows. Just hope if you have/had a cold, that it is a quick recovery. Don't want to be second guessing every ailment this year.

Now to this weeks wrap up!

Monday, Cia fox trotted into the GA Blog and brought us all the January CSR Discussion Day:

Wednesday, with a rose in her teeth doing a tango, Renee brought us the Author Guess Who Reveal. Did you guess right?

Not to be forgotten from the previous day, Renee was back on Thursday with a tap dance flourish and brought us a new Anthology Entry Revisited:

Friday we saw Wayne waltz in with a couple more interesting Prompts:

Doing the floss (much better than Backpack Boy), Comicality had another great Article to take in:

Myr finished off the dance week and was doing the macarena every day this week, with a new Word Of The Day (hey, I could have gone with the chicken dance  )
