on boxing day i started coming down with some kind of cold. we'd planned to head up to north bay the following day, and i figured i'd probably be feeling better and if not, i'd just be sitting around at home so i might as well sit around in the car on the 6 hour drive. so we proceeded as planned. the weather was crumby, but doable.
when we arrived, we had a nice visit with his dad and made plans to go to algonquin park the next day. but that night i was up constantly with a sore throat, cough, congestion, stuffy nose. so i didn't feel up for a hike, but brendan went on his own with andy, so that was good. i spent the day in bed, watching 'love it or list it' in back-to-back episodes (it's an ok show, but the hosts clearly have scripted lines and they're very bad at delivering them convincingly).
thankfully, while watching tv i saw a commercial for breathe right strips, so b picked me up some and they are awesome! and the work instantly!
by evening i'd pretty much concluded it wasn't a cold, but rather the flu :S sucky. i suppose it could've been worse. we drove home today, making a stop at ikea in ottawa, and arrived home to the snowy streets of k-town in the evening. i think someone may have shoveled our driveway while we were gone. b had shoveled before we left, but more snow had fallen since then. it made parking and getting around much easier. our picnic table has about 2.5 feet of snow on it. quite surprising.
while in north bay, andy asked us if our car would be ok not plugged in overnight, and it reminded me of the 80s when everyone's car had a block heater. now i don't think anyone needs one in southern ontario. the night i was born my dad had forgotten to plug in the car and they had to call a friend to come give them a boost in the middle of the night because the car wouldn't start.
brendan's dad gave us an amazing nikon camera for christmas. it's kind of half way between a point+shoot and a DSLR camera. it takes some super awesome pictures. we've very pleased and appreciative.
the slow one now
will later be fast.
