We've been overcome with changing-of-the-seasons colds in the last week. As first one and then the second of us succumbed to virus, this article Myths of the Common Cold surfaced. We sniffled and had a good giggle over them, and perhaps you will too.
Not to disclose more than you may wish to know, but a former Russian instructor and friend added her two cents to my bought of stomach flu, wishing to dispel that as a myth as well, claiming that at home it was simply called "food poisoning" and she hadn't heard of this virus until coming to the U.S. :-)
A bit of Dr. Oetker pudding prepared by my sniffling spouse, and we feel a bit better already!
This is an aimless blog that gives voices to small joys, quirky happenstances, everyday occurrences, and occasional pesterings as the author navigates her life paths as an educator, transplanted Wyomingite, traveler, and curiosity seeker.
