I must have caught our granddaughter's cold, or else it's an allergy. Hard to tell at this point. I do not have fever, and I do not feel bad, just a little tired. I have been coughing, sneezing, and sniffling, but so far all is clear.
In any case, I'm staying away from my mother. Husband has been to see her a couple of times, to take her her mail that came here - Christmas and belated birthday cards - and to bring me her dirty laundry. (The home will do her laundry, but she has sensitive skin, and itches, so I wash it in "Free and Clear" type detergent.
We had a party for all the ESL (English as a Second Language) students and teachers here tonight, so even though I would have liked to lounge around all day, I dusted and washed and got things ready. I made snickerdoodle cookies and roasted pecans the other day, and today I got plates, bowls, etc. ready for everything. My student who works at a BBQ restaurant brought some pulled pork and sauce, and another student brought marinated chicken wings. I also served chips with salsa and cheese dip, peanuts, and satsumas, and Coke and coffee to drink. I also had hot water available, and tea bags and hot chocolate mix. It was too hot for hot drinks, though.
We gave satsumas away for people to take home. We exchanged gifts, but didn't open them, as not everyone had one or brought one. One of the other teachers brought sugar cookie dough and the makings to decorate them, so we baked and decorated after we ate. Most of us were too full to eat them, so they took those cookies home, too.
It was a nice evening, and we all had a good time. I think I'll go to bed early
