Good Things

Whenever something's got me down, I try to find the good things. Take, for instance, this week: I've had a rotten sinus-throat-ears cold complete with fever and chills. Couple that with a hubby whose work schedule has him out of the house 50-60 hours a week, and oy...you can see why I'd been feeling a bit down. But today I discovered the highlights--the good things--about having a cold. One, I don't smell the poopy diapers!! Yippee--if Lydia hadn't told me that Evelyn had a poopy earlier, I wouldn't have known! Let me just tell you--a break from smelling the poopy is wonderful! Two, I don't smell the cat food! Not as nice as the diapers, but right up there! I can't stand the smell of cat food--to the point that I usually make hubby feed the cat. There isn't a fishy-icky cat food smell whiff around. Three, my ears are so clogged I haven't heard hubby snore all week! I've actually gotten some sleep!
So there you have it: the three good things to come out of a rotten cold. : )
