Can't Rebecca fast-forward to springtime?

I somehow managed to catch a cold over the weekend, so for the last few days, I've been sick and sniffling. Yesterday I blew my nose so hard, I saw actually stars. So I've been trying to drink and sleep more to get over it. I also bought some cold medicine and (finally) got my asthma medication refilled. A cold front blew in on Friday night -- I remember because I was shivering in the Chinese restaurant parking lot -- so I've also been wheezing more lately. Ugh! I hate being sick, and I'm SO not ready for cold weather yet. But at least I seem to be feeling better today than I did yesterday.

On Monday morning, I had to wake up early to drive to the animal shelter (which is waaay out in the middle of nowhere!) with the stray cat who showed up at our apartment. I'm praying that she gets adopted into a good home, because I really cannot stand the thought of her being euthanized. She was so calm and sweet.

Fortunately, today I got a little pick-me-up -- a new episode of NCIS featuring everybody's favorite father, Jackson Gibbs!
