Runny nose, sneezing, and I still have a slight temperature. So I took it real slow today, drank lots of fluid and took Tylenol. I am hopeful it won\u2019t turn into a stinky, bad cold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span face=\"Times New Roman\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span face=\"Times New Roman\">My period of limited activities is supposed to end in two weeks.

(I am allowed to have home cooking with small groups!) Great nosh.

I haven\u2019t been to Disney World in 20 years, my kids have never been there, and at 12 &amp; 9 they are the right ages. So we are going Easter Sunday night, through to the following Saturday. Another good reason to avoid unnecessary contacts for the next several weeks. I don\u2019t want to go to Orlando on antibiotics, or with a cold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span face=\"Times New Roman\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span face=\"Times New Roman\">I see Dr. Kewalramani, on March 28<sup>th.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">&nbsp; <\/span><\/sup>.
