Well, as I joked to everyone, there wasn't enough snow in Maine so I went to New Jersey to get some. Minus the blizzard that crippled the entire mid coast of the Atlantic and the cold I brought back, my trip was a success.
The cold.
I can recover pretty quickly, but I also still have a good immune system and I don't mess around when I'm starting to come down with something. Dad, on the other hand, doesn't recover quickly from anything anymore. I think he's on day four of stuffy nose, feeling like crap, going to sleep all day. We've been pumping him full of soup, liquids, vitamin C and Tylenol. Those are about the only things he can take because of the medications he's on. While he is getting better everyday it's slow going. It is what it is and that's ok.
The tortoise always wins the race.
And we continue on...
