Almost Over...

My bout with the cough/cold that is. I'm still coughing especially at night but I think I'm over the worst part of it. I just hope it'll be gone sooner than later. I hate waking up at night just to cough. When that happens, I have no choice but pop a halls in my mouth to get rid of the itch or the tickle in my throat. And yes, I fall asleep with candy in my mouth. Something I tell my daughter not to do.

Anyhoooo...it's TGIF again. It's quite chilly here today. We woke up with a low 40s temperature I think. It's climbing up fast though. The highest today will be in the mid-70s so it's a 30 degree climb. The weekend will be much warmer because we're expecting of highs in the high 70s for both days.

I have no plans to go anywhere though. We were at the mall for the past 2 weekends but we didn't really shop much. I did most of my holiday shopping online just like the last few years so there's not much to look for in the mall anymore. Then there's that 'shooting' in a mall in Portland, OR a couple of days ago. Call me paranoid but everytime I hear about such incident, I can't help but be afraid to go to malls. It seems to be an easy access for people who commit such unthinkable crimes. Anybody can enter a mall with a firearm because there is no security in place to check such things. At least not in the mall we frequent around here and obviously not in that mall in Portland where the latest shooting happened.

Anyway, have a....
