This week I started using an inhaler again for the first time in 12 years. Just as I was coming to the stark realization that I don't have as much sick time left as I thought I did, I got hit with bronchitis, agitating asthma that's been dormant since I was 14. I'm getting ready to head home from work early today -- I've got to recover! My wife's birthday is tomorrow and Christmas is right around the corner.
Also, a big storm is coming this weekend. My car is now that "dirty snow" color it will be for the next few months. Driving in New England weather can get a little stressful, but I trust my old Subaru. (The Los Angeles "cold snap" coverage is totally cracking me up. It was 10 degrees when I got to work today!)
