Running WITH a cold
Winter is quickly approaching which means those nasty, disgusting germs are coming out to party. SO many are getting sick with the cold and flu. I was sick all last week. I am just now starting to get better and able to breathe through my nose! I hate the fact that the dry, cold, air…
